Southeastern Grocers Sustainability Vision
We believe in putting people first, and because that commitment includes both the people of today and the people of tomorrow, we weave sustainability into everything we do.
Our Pledge
For more than 100 years, we have proudly served the Southeast, delivering a preferred shopping experience while remaining deeply rooted in the communities we call home. At Southeastern Grocers, we are more than just a grocery store. We are a trusted neighbor and steadfast partner in ensuring a stronger, more sustainable future for generations to come. We are committed to doing the right thing and finding impactful ways to prioritize our people, our product and our planet.
SEG aligns our ongoing efforts with the United Nations’ definition of sustainability: “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” To streamline our sustainability initiatives, our objectives are guided by six key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which address hunger, health, education, inequalities, responsible consumption and production, and ocean conservation.

Our annual reports share a transparent glimpse behind-the-scenes of our continued efforts to build stronger communities, advance our product offerings and further our eco-responsibility practices. Through carefully collected data and thoughtfully curated insights, each report highlights the accomplishments of our powerful initiatives and details the meaningful steps we have taken to make a positive impact in areas that matter most to our associates, customers and communities.
PEOPLE
As a people-first grocer, we care passionately about supporting people both inside and outside our neighborhood stores. We take pride in fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace, lending a helping hand to our neighbors in need and empowering people from all walks of life.
PRODUCT
Good enough is never enough for us. We are constantly improving and innovating by expanding our award-winning Own Brand product lines, nurturing supplier diversity and increasing local offerings to provide shoppers with exceptional value, convenience and quality.
PLANET
We are dedicated to integrating sustainability into our daily operations by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, minimizing waste and beautifying our neighborhoods while encouraging our customers to join us on our green journey by using reusable bags and opting for paperless receipts.
Over the course of the last century, we have been the grocer you can always count on with strong neighborhood ties and a proud history of giving back. Our priorities are shaped by the evaluation of high-impact areas that will support our key initiatives. As we march forward, we are steadfast in our commitment to empowering our people to sustainably feed and enrich the communities we serve. We believe in the power of progress as we continue to thrive and make a positive impact for years to come.
