Performance Highlights from Safeway’s 2013 Sustainability Report

Safeway’s story started in 1915 when M.B. Skaggs, an ambitious young man in a small Idaho town, purchased a grocery store from his father. M.B.’s business strategy – to offer customers the best value – proved spectacularly successful. Almost 100 years later, Safeway’s reach has increased dramatically. Although we have grown substantially since 1915, our customers can continue to count on us to serve their neighborhoods with the freshest groceries at a great value. And to this day, we’ve also continued to embrace a heritage of sustainability, first set forth by M.B.’s own mantra of ‘distribution without waste.’

The heart of our company is made up of the People we are honored to employ, the high-quality Products we offer customers, the Communities in which we live and work, and the Planet that we strive to protect.
