Morrison Clothing Store Sustainability Actions

PRI signatory since 2010

Morrison says it has been a signatory to the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) since 2010. PRI is a global framework that helps investors think about environmental, social, and governance issues, often shortened to ESG. The company says this sits alongside its wider investment approach, which aims to protect and improve infrastructure assets for investors and communities.

Uses GRESB to benchmark ESG

The company says it uses the GRESB Infrastructure Assessment to benchmark the ESG performance of its portfolios. GRESB is a tool that compares how well investment portfolios manage environmental and social issues. Morrison presents this as part of its effort to integrate sustainability into investment decisions and to track how assets perform over time.

Joined climate and industry groups

Morrison says it joined the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia in 2021, the Investor Group on Climate Change in 2019, and the initiative Climat International in 2023. It also says it has taken part in the Sustainable Digitalisation Project since 2018 and became a Foundation Partner in 2021. These memberships suggest it is working with outside groups on climate, responsible investment, and digital sustainability.

Published ESG policies and statements

Morrison lists several public documents, including a Responsible Investment Policy, Sustainability Framework, Modern Slavery Statement, Human Rights & Modern Slavery Position Statement, Climate Change Position Statement, and Supplier Code of Conduct. These documents show that the company has formal rules on issues such as labour rights, climate, and supplier behaviour. A supplier code of conduct is a set of standards that suppliers are expected to follow.

Logistics ESG programme

Morrison Express says ESG is part of its corporate strategy and lists ongoing work on lower emissions, better energy use, green logistics, waste and water management, renewable energy, labour rights, health and safety, data privacy, and supplier management. The company frames these as current operating practices rather than future goals, so they count as actions already underway.

Healthcare sustainability work

Morrison Healthcare says it is working on better food choices, food waste reduction, sustainable ingredient sourcing, and lower carbon impact. It also says it is a Practice Greenhealth member. Practice Greenhealth is a membership group that gives healthcare organisations tools and benchmarking to improve environmental performance. The page also mentions a sustainability roadmap, which suggests an organised plan for ongoing work.

Reported 2020/21 social support

A 2020/21 sustainability report summary says Morrisons gave over £10 million to help restock British food banks and made more than 650,000 doorstep deliveries to vulnerable people during the pandemic. It also says the company moved toward 100% free-range eggs, saved almost 300,000 plastic bags since 2017, and supported British farmers through its 'farming for the future' programme. These are past actions tied to food access, animal welfare, and packaging reduction.
