Our Sustainability Commitment
Doing the right thing for our community and world
Here we explain our efforts and steps to achieve our global sustainability goals. These efforts are grounded in our Mission Statement and Code of Ethics .
Our Guiding Principles
1
For Costco to thrive, the world must thrive — we are committed to doing our part.
2
We focus on issues related to our business and where we can contribute to real, results-driven positive impact.
3
We do not have all the answers, we are learning as we go and seek continuous improvement.
Our Holistic Approach
We have aligned our sustainability efforts and initiatives with the way we structure and think about our business, which is a holistic and integrated approach to sustainability. Three primary pillars drive our initiatives, all of which are supported by our Climate Action Plan. We also align our efforts with seven of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that relate most closely to our business.
