UK SUPERMARKET giant Tesco will no longer feature a carbon reduction label, which the chain launched to great fanfare four years ago.
Tesco was featuring the Carbon Trust’s carbon reduction label on its products, but has decided to drop it, saying it was too time-consuming and expensive to justify.
When it launched four years ago, in conjunction with the Carbon Trust, Tesco’s Carbon Reduction Labelling plan was hailed by then Tesco chief executive officer Sir Terry Leahy as the start of a “revolution in green consumption”.
