Distribution Centres
Distribution Centres
Many of our energy conservation and environmental design efforts are found in our distribution centres across Canada. Sobeys has a team of logistics and fleet management professionals across the organization, dedicated to implementing cost-effective, energy saving and sustainable design features into existing distribution centres. These features include more energy-efficient lighting, light-dimming and motion-sensor technologies, higher efficiency HVAC systems and refrigeration heat recovery systems to warm different areas of the buildings.
Through their participation in our Logistics Sustainability Share Group, these employees share ideas on improving our operation’s energy, fuel and refrigeration efficiency in environmentally responsible ways. Additionally, they are evaluating how the innovative, environmentally sustainable systems and processes implemented in new facilities such as Trois-Rivières, Québec and Vaughan, Ontario can be incorporated into existing distribution centres.
