Operations

Costco's sustainability commitment also focuses on managing our operation of over 815 locations worldwide in an energy-efficient and environmentally responsible manner. Our efforts involve sustainability assessments, including energy and resource consumption reviews within our operations. We remain committed to improving our energy systems controls and performance and to the reduction and diversion of waste throughout our operations. This supports our mission to remain a low cost operator, as we remain focused on programs that best serve our communities, promote environmental stewardship and reduce our carbon footprint.
