The Heart of Our Decarbonisation Drive

METRO is actively involved in the official SBTi target setting process, aligning its climate goals with the Paris Agreement. These commitments go beyond emissions from own operations to include those generated throughout the value chain.

As a first step, METRO’s supplier strategy will focus on environmental impact – specifically targeting to reduce CO2 emissions – laying the foundation for long-term, sustainable value creation.

Our ambition - what we're working toward

Climate protection targets

METRO is driving forward an ambitious package of measures to achieve the goals by 2030.

Why Supplier Engagement Strategy Matters?

Products contribute to the largest share of METRO’s carbon footprint. A robust Supplier Engagement Strategy ensures we co-create solutions, accelerate decarbonisation, and embed CO2 reduction in daily business.
