Woolworths Group presents sustainability as part of how it does business, with a 2030 Sustainability Plan centred on five material areas: climate and nature, waste and circularity, human rights, social impact, and health and nutrition. The company says the plan was shaped by a double materiality assessment, peer benchmarking, stakeholder insights, and lessons learned over the past five years. It reports over $2.6 billion in net societal benefit across its previous five-year plan to 2025, alongside progress on emissions reduction, plastic removal, and meals provided to people in need. Sustainability reporting is described as transparent and integrated into core business plans.

Delivered net societal benefit

We’ve been on our sustainability journey for many years now. We reflect on the lessons learned, recognise the impact we’ve made and the work still ahead. We are proud that this translated into over $2.6 billion in net societal benefit over the five years to 2025.

Issued certified green bond

In 2019, Woolworths Group became the first retailer in Australia, and the first supermarket globally, to issue a green bond certified by the Climate Bonds Initiative. The value of the issuance was $400 million. The bond repaid in full when it reached maturity on 23 April, 2024.

Issued sustainability linked bond

In 2021, Woolworths Group successfully issued a $700 million Sustainability Linked Bond, structured to include a margin increase penalty where scope 1 and 2 emissions are not aligned with Group sustainability forecasts.

Reached renewable electricity milestone

Woolworths Group reached the milestone of being 100 per cent powered by renewable electricity across Australia and New Zealand at the end of 2025, achieving the goal first set in 2020 well ahead of the global RE100 renewable electricity target for 2030.
