DFI cuts emissions by 22% in 2025

DFI Retail Group has unveiled its 2025 Sustainability Disclosure, showcasing significant strides in its commitment to sustainability across Asia. The group achieved a 22% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from its 2021 baseline, with a target of 50% reduction by 2030. Waste diversion also improved, reaching 66% in 2025, with an 80% target set for 2030.

The group invested $39m in community initiatives, benefiting 125 million people across 12 markets. DFI’s efforts in decarbonising its supply chain included launching 380 tonnes of LowCarbon Rice and sourcing deforestation-free coffee beans for its 7CAFÉ outlets in Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore. “We remain committed to our purpose of sustainably serving Asia for generations,” said Scott Price, Group Chief Executive.

DFI’s sustainability framework focuses on People, Products, and Planet, with governance as its cornerstone. The group maintained ethical audits of its suppliers and expanded its 7-Eleven Grounds to Green programme, which repurposes used coffee grounds into fertiliser. In 2025, 48% of its Own Brand products carried third-party sustainability certificates, up from 28% in 2024.

The group also made advancements in refrigeration technology, commissioning the first CO₂-based natural refrigerant system in Hong Kong’s food retail sector. Erica Chan, Group Chief Legal, Sustainability, and Corporate Affairs Officer, emphasised the importance of governance and transparency in aligning with global standards.

DFI Retail Group continues to integrate sustainability into its operations, aiming to create long-term value for its customers and the environment.
