Meijer also pursues eco-friendly initiatives in order to benefit customers and reduce its environmental impact. Meijer incorporates innovative and sustainable business practices into stores and operations. Through initiatives ranging from energy-efficient buildings, an industry-leading low-emissions truck fleet, and local and sustainable product offerings in our stores, Meijer aims to leave a positive impact for future generations. Also, Meijer operates one of the largest all-clean diesel fleets in North America.

The featured speaker is Erik Petrovskis, Director of Environmental Compliance and Sustainability at Meijer.  Erik has 20 years of experience as an environmental consultant. At Meijer, Erik is responsible for due diligence, remediation, compliance, and environmental sustainability, with particular focus on stormwater and food waste management.
