Environment
Costco is committed to minimizing our impact on the climate, while also mitigating the impacts of climate change on our business. We strive to use resources responsibly and respect nature, animals, and people whose environment is touched by our business.
Highlights
Cleaner Energy
We are increasing clean energy sources, including more than 100 on-site solar energy systems that help power Costco buildings.
Reducing Plastic
Switching to lighter-weight packaging and using more recyclable content helps us save millions of pounds of plastic per year.
Conserving Water
We use water monitoring systems, high-efficiency dishwashers and drought-resistant landscaping where feasible to reduce our water use intensity.
