“Quinbrook is proud of developing Cleve Hill as we believe it is a blueprint for the next generation of energy transition infrastructure in the UK.”

The Tesco-Cleve Hill agreement is more than just a corporate sustainability initiative — it’s a significant step towards the UK’s net-zero ambitions. 

According to the UK Parliament, in the first quarter of 2023, renewables generated 48% of all UK electricity — up from just 7% in 2010. 

Partnerships — like this one with Tesco and its collaborators — are crucial for bridging the investment and infrastructure gap needed to achieve the country’s climate goals.

How is Tesco ensuring it will be carbon neutral by 2035?

On top of the aforementioned environmentally-driven initiatives, Tesco aims to cut food waste by 50% by 2025, achieve deforestation-free status for key commodities and promote sustainable consumption — showcasing a comprehensive approach to reducing its carbon footprint.

As well as this, the supermarket giant is working toward — like many others — reaching net zero by 2050.
