LONDON (Reuters) - Morrisons has pledged to be the first supermarket group completely supplied by net zero carbon British farms by 2030, five years ahead of the market, it said on Monday.
The group is Britain s fourth biggest supermarket group by sales after market leader Tesco, Sainsbury s and Asda but is British farming s biggest customer.
Reaching net zero, or carbon neutral, means achieving a state where farming activities result in no impact on the climate from greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2019 Britain became the first G7 country to set in law a net zero emissions target by 2050, which will require wholesale changes in the way Britons travel, use energy and eat.
