CREATING A MORE SUSTAINABLE WORLD TOGETHER | | | | | Dear Pet Parent, | As a health and wellness company, all of us at Petco understand how important it is to help preserve the health of our planet so current and future generations of pets and pet parents can thrive. | Today, we’re committing to increasing Petco’s assortment of sustainable pet products to 50% by the end of 2025. | At Petco pet care centers and on petco.com, you can now easily identify the brands that meet our rigorous standards to help you and your pets live more sustainably. Our plan is to continue introducing more products that align with at least 1 of our 5 sustainability pillars: | • | Responsible manufacturing – brands and products that use responsible manufacturing practices during production. | • | Sustainably sourced materials – products made with materials like organic cotton or recycled nylon. | • | Sustainably sourced ingredients – food and treats made with ingredients that are more environmentally friendly or emit fewer greenhouse gases. | • | Responsible packaging – packaging designed to be refilled with the same type of product or for multiple uses. | • | Animal welfare – brands helping ensure animals are treated humanely and products meet Petco’s cruelty-free standard. | | This commitment builds on the strong foundation for positive societal impact we’ve forged over 55+ years in business and the significant sustainability progress we made in 2020, including: | • | Using 92% less plastic and 23% less cardboard in packaging, compared to online-only retailers by fulfilling online orders in our Petco pet care centers, which we estimate eliminated 3.6 million pounds of cardboard waste and 30,000 pounds of plastic waste in 2020 alone. | • | Upcycling 1.5 million plastic bottles into pet accessories with our “Started as a Bottle” program. | • | Eliminating 3.2 million pieces of packaging waste across Petco’s owned brand products. | | We know there’s still so much more we can accomplish together and we’re committed to accelerating our environmental sustainability initiatives in 2021 and beyond. | Thanks for helping make health and wellness a priority for pets, people and the planet alike.
