In addition to these energy efficiencies, the store features a ‘Reduced to Clear’ section to help combat food waste and has appointed a member of staff take on the role of sustainability champion.
Sustainability efforts at Centra Rathmore also extend beyond the store, with the Hickey’s involved in supporting local sports clubs and charities in the locality. In 2022, the Centra store donated €5,000 to the local community.
Donagh Hickey of Hickey’s Centra Rathmore said: “At Centra Rathmore, we are acutely aware of the responsibility that rests with all of us in relation to climate action, both individually and collectively. The changes we have made in store as a result of our store revamp and the Centra sustainability fund have allowed us to achieve a 49% carbon reduction in the past year. For example, we have installed new refrigeration units with all doors running on environmentally friendly gas. We look forward to building on these actions and making, simple, every day, real sustainable action accessible for our loyal customers. As a community hub, we are committed to reaching Net Zero by 2040 and we will continue to enhance sustainability measures across our store to play our part.”
