Wayfair Sets 2030 Goals

Wayfair Inc., a furniture manufacturer, announced its commitment to achieving zero waste across its global operations by 2030 and a goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 63% by 2035. 

This target aims to divert over 90% of Wayfair's operational waste from landfills and incineration. 

The company also announced that 66.5% of Wayfair's electricity consumption in North America will be covered by contracted energy offtake from its participation in the Liberty Solar virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA).

Details were released in its third annual Corporate Responsibility Report.

Wayfair referenced the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) frameworks, reaffirming the company's commitment to data-driven decision-making.

"I'm proud to be sharing this year's Corporate Responsibility Report, which highlights the important progress we've made towards our ongoing support of our communities, our people and our planet," said Kate Gulliver, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer at Wayfair, in a statement. "While this report is a retrospective of our impact and progress over the past year, we know that this work is never truly done. Looking ahead, we remain committed to investing our time and resources in these crucial areas, and I'm thrilled to be adding our zero waste goal as a key commitment."
