Personal Response
I think this is a great one of operation of corporation to conduct the business to help the earth by saving, reducing and reusing. It show how Sainsbury had a environmental responsibily. By they opened the store in Dartmouth, Devon that is the UK’s greenest store. Built with respect for the
use of natural resources, including energy, water, waste, timber and land, the store was specifically designed to reduce both its operational and embodied carbon. Sainsbury’s admire in social that to be more over a retailer because they do the different value to tell the customers that they take a deep interest in social, environmental and ethical concerns should remain at the core of how they do things. I think they’re a real Mr.Love Earth.
