Every year, we recognize and celebrate April 22 as Earth Day. At Publix, Earth Day is more than a 1-day event. We celebrate it year-round by supporting efforts to protect and care for our environment. It’s our commitment to being intolerant of waste and acting as responsible citizens in our communities.

From our biannual Publix Serves Week — where over 7,000 associates are volunteering — to our year-round focus on energy conservation, landfill diversion and recycling, plastics and packaging, responsible sourcing, and water conservation and stewardship, we’re constantly thinking of ways to enhance and improve our environment.

Our founder, George Jenkins, believed in using his time and talents to make a difference in the world. His legacy lives on in our dedication to sustainability.

Caring for the environment isn’t just the right thing to do; it’s part of our Publix culture.
