Publix Awarded For Sustainability

Publix Super Markets receives the Sustainable Large Business Best Practice award from the Council for Sustainable Florida. Three specific Publix programs contributed to the win. The "Get into a Green Routine" program educates associates on energy conservation. Since launching in 2002 the retailer has reduced electricity usage by an overage of seven percent overall. As part of the "Reduce-and-Reuse Before Recycling" initiative plastic is re-used for the shipping of products. The Publix Generator program, launched in 2006, saw the installation of 400 stationary and mobile generators to hurricane-prone store locations.
