4. Paul Crewe, Sainsbury’s Head of Sustainability
High performance
& efficiency.
“We trialled the first installation of the new LED lighting in one of our local convenience stores in Scotland late last year and the initial findings were so positive that we decided to install it in our new Leek supermarket. We are confident that it will deliver an enhanced shopping experience as well as significant energy savings, helping us getting a big step closer to our sustainability commitment.”
