The sustainable supermarket of the future

Australian grocers are welcoming innovation and anticipating new offerings with the newly formatted Woolworths store located in Sydney’s inner-west.

Sustainability has emerged as a key focus for the supermarket, with its new format fitted out with energy efficient LED lighting and carbon efficient refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

New services include pick-up lockers, installed at the front of the Marrickville store, following Group CEO Brad Banducci’s commitment to install pick-up nationally.

With changing consumer expectations, it’s great to see a large retailer responding to customer needs, and leading the way to a more sustainable and innovative future.
