“Tractor Supply is honored to be recognized by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,” said Noni Ellison, Senior Vice
President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. “Using green
power helps us reduce air pollution and lower our emissions
footprint, which is an important step as we work towards our vision
of a more sustainable future. Being named a Green Power Partner is
validation for our commitment in creating energy and carbon
efficiencies in our stores and distribution centers.”
Earlier this year, Tractor Supply set new sustainability goals
to reduce carbon emissions, while committing to achieving net zero
emissions in operations by 2040. Sourcing more green power for
stores and distribution centers is the primary component of its
Scope 2 emissions strategy. The Company is prioritizing the
procurement of green power with its energy suppliers where possible
as options to buy green power remain limited in many parts of the
country where Tractor Supply stores are located. By choosing green
power, Tractor Supply is helping advance the voluntary market for
green power and development of those sources.
Green power is electricity generated from environmentally
preferable renewable resources, such as wind, solar, geothermal,
biogas, eligible biomass, and low-impact hydro. By moving the
needle in the voluntary green power market, Tractor Supply Company
and other Green Power Partners are helping to reduce the negative
health impacts of air emissions including those related to ozone,
fine particles, acid rain and regional haze.
