About the data
We consider it a very important first step for retailers to start certifying at least part of their establishments as zero waste.
Methodology
We will "assign a" "YES" "to this question if:
- The company has reached the category of "" zero waste "", either through a certification such as AENOR "" Zero waste "" or through the management of a specialized external company (for example Saica Natur in the case of Auchan Spain) in at least 10 of its facilities.
These can be logistics platforms or stores both in Spain and in foreign subsidiaries
We will assign a "NO" if:
- If the company has an international presence and meet this condition only in a country outside of Spain. Or:
- If the company is certified "" zero residue "" only in some points of sale in Spain. Or:
- We did not find any statement in this regard. Or:
- The company declares that it has revalued at least 90% of its waste, but does not have any certification or external company to verify this.
This information can be found in any of the following reports published on the companies' website:
- Annual memory
- Corporate Social Responsibility Report
- Sustainability Report
- Environmental Report
- Report on Carbon Footprint
- Non-Financial Information Statement (EINF)
