7-Eleven Receives ‘Store Brands’ Magazine Award for Social Responsibility

January 17th, 2017 by Fiedler Group

Last month, 7-Eleven Inc. was honored by Store Brands magazine when it received the 2016 Store Brand Achievement Award for Best Achievement in Social Responsibility Tied to Store Brands.

The Store Brand Achievement Award recognized 7-Eleven for its commitment to reducing its environmental footprint over the next decade.

The award follows 7-Eleven’s announcement last year that in collaboration with Conservation International (CI), a nonprofit organization, it was establishing measurable corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals to reduce its environmental footprint.

7-Eleven’s CSR plan is to reduce its carbon footprint overall and increase community engagement in the United States and Canada by concentrating on energy, packaging and philanthropy.

Specifically, 7-Eleven’s goals include a reduction of their energy footprint in stores and offices by 20 percent by 2025, and reduce its packaging footprint by 20 percent by 2025.

7-Eleven notes that it has already decreased electricity use in store operations by an estimated 21 percent over the past seven years via projects such as LED lighting, energy management systems and high efficiency HVAC units.

Further, starting this year, 7-Eleven will tie its corporate giving to its performance, giving back 1 percent of its net operating income annually with a focus on expanding participation in two of its most successful programs benefiting youth: Project A-Game and Operation Chill.
