Pictured at Garvey's SuperValu Castleisland is Lillian Moroney, Floor Supervisor, Seamus O'Connor, Store Manager and Oliver Falvey, Head Butcher, celebrating their contribution to SuperValu and Centra’s Building Sustainable Communities Scheme, in partnership with the SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland). This year, 23 SuperValu and Centra stores across the country committed to making sustainable upgrades in store to reduce energy costs, fossil fuel usage and greenhouse gas emissions, with a target of becoming net zero carbon by 2050. Spearheading environmental change in the Irish retail sector, Musgrave stores across Ireland also donated over €200,000 to local community initiatives and Cluid Housing.

SuperValu Castleisland has joined forces with SEAI, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland to spearhead change in the retail sector.

The store used the SEAI grant to upgrade its refrigeration and install solar panels, the result of which is the energy equivalent of powering 81 houses per year.

It represents a 59% overall carbon reduction for the Castleisland store.
