What We're Doing
In 2001, Publix created Get Into a Green RoutineSM, a program for environmental responsibility.
The program began with education and emphasis on energy conservation, and has extended to waste
reduction, recycling, and conservation of other resources, including water.
This program is designed to encourage environmentally responsible habits our associates can use
at work and at home. As Florida's largest employer, we believe encouraging our associates to be aware
of their consumption habits at home (as well as establishing policies at work) can make a difference.
By The Numbers:
Through Get Into a Green RoutineSM, we've saved close to 930 million kilowatt hours through
various lighting, refrigeration and other conservation projects, which equals a reduction of more than
500,000 tons of greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide) or enough kilowatt hours to power 64,500 homes for a
year (assuming the typical home uses 1,200 kWh a month for a year).
The program has helped us reduce companywide electricity usage by over 7 percent in existing stores and
by 23 percent in new store designs.
