A strategic business-wide framework, the Woolworths Sustainability Index, has been created, tailored specifically to deal with the issues that most impact our business. The index was created through a series of workshops and one-on-one meetings with key stakeholders within Woolworths’ enabling us to interpret issues and agree policies and targets at business unit level. We will be measuring Woolworths’ progress towards a more sustainable business using more than 150 indicators or measures across the business. The index is referenced to the Global Reporting Initiative G3 guidelines.
