Food Lion Cares

At Food Lion, we’re leading the way to a brighter, greener future while providing our customers with everything they need. We’d like you to join us in our efforts to become more efficient and environmentally friendly. By shopping at Food Lion, you’re helping to support a more environmentally-friendly approach to supermarket construction and operation, and you're a partner in sustainability.

The point is this: Because you shop with us, we have the resources to install and practice energy-saving technologies that support cleaner, healthier communities. And when we spend less energy, you spend less on groceries.

Food Lion has one of the most innovative and longest-running energy conservation programs in the U.S. In 2000, Food Lion became one of the EPA’s first ENERGY STAR partners. Earning an ENERGY STAR label means meeting vigorous energy efficiency standards. Today, we are proud to own more ENERGY STAR stores than all of the other grocery retailers in the U.S. Combined.

Food Lion is also a founding partner of GreenChill, a new EPA program that pursues technologies that reduce ozone-depleting and greenhouse gas refrigerants. Many Food Lion stores have heating and cooling systems that use only 40% of the refrigerants typically needed. In fact, we have more of these systems than anyone else in the industry. And we’re making all new and remodeled stores ozone-friendly in advance of the Clean Air Act requirements. Learn more about GreenChill.

Using reusable shopping bags like those sold at Food Lion is another way to reuse and recycle. If you haven't tried reusable shopping bags before, you're in for a nice surprise. They hold many more groceries per bag than plastic or paper bags. What's more, you can use your reusable bags for far more than grocery shopping.
