From top to bottom, our team is committed to innovation across our business. We’re constantly looking ahead to find ways of working in closer harmony with nature. By increasing efficiency and reducing our environmental impact, we’re doing more by doing less!
Five Below is taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint and landfill & ocean waste with cool stuff that’s better for our planet. From reusable essentials to must-haves made with recycled and/or sustainably sourced materials, plus recyclable packaging –we aim to prove it doesn’t have to be expensive for our customers to go green.
We’re reimagining and optimizing every step of our supply chain: from the amount of packaging used to house & ship our products, to the number of containers we need to transport them, to the energy consumption of our ship centers, to the fuel efficiency of the trucks we put on the road, to the lightbulbs we use in our stores!
Since 2020, we’ve sold over 30 million reusable tote bags at checkout, reducing the amount of plastic waste generated by disposable plastic bags.
We reengineered our product packaging materials – focusing on charging cables, writing tools and fitness packaging – to minimize waste and reduce transportation needs. In the program’s first year, we reduced the amount of cardboard used by ~785 tons, the equivalent of 13,300 trees saved, or 67 acres of rainforest.
We’re committed to investing in the right partnerships and searching for ways to produce responsibly. Our manufacturing partners in India are taking a big step forward in the way we create our products. Our beach towels are made in partnership with a women-owned business in a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) plant, using 40% renewable energy and recycling 99.3% of water used.
