Green may be the new black in fashion, however Tesco’s recent attempt to present itself as a force for environmental good appears to be backfiring, according to the Observer. Britain’s biggest retailer, who’s clothing brand Florence+Fred is an unsurpassed success, has severely underestimated its true contribution to climate change.
Development charity Christian Aid says Tesco’s carbon footprint does not include the emissions caused by shoppers driving to and from its stores or those incurred by its suppliers. Christian Aid believes that the true impact Tesco has on the environment could be as much as 12 times higher than the level the company admits to. Campaigners from the charity will meet Tesco representatives to urge the company to come clean on its carbon footprint which stands, even by its own estimate, at 4.13m tonnes of CO2 equivalent – bigger than Mauritius.
