Planet
With over 17,000 locations worldwide, we have a significant role to play, we have a significant role to play, by increasing our offering of renewable fuel options for our customers, improving the energy efficiency of our operations, reducing resource use in our processes and supply chains, and helping to reduce waste generation by promoting sustainable alternatives.
Contributing to the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Fossil fuel continues to be a necessity in most of our customers’ lives, but we are committed to contribute to future solutions regarding cleaner alternatives and reduced emissions and to support our customers and communities in this transition along the way.
We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and use resources more efficiently. We strive to be recognized as a leading retailer in reducing energy consumption, by improving the energy efficiency of our equipment and operations.
As a global provider of convenience items, we are continuously reducing the amount of waste through improved processes, working with reusing and recycling as well as introducing more sustainable packaging choices for our products.
Fuel & Sustainable alternatives

We provide easy access to more sustainable fuel and alternatives and contribute to a more sustainable future by continuously increasing our offering of cleaner energy alternatives that our customers are interested in buying and that are available to us as a retailer.

We meet 9 million customers every day and are committed to supporting their choices. Working together with our customers to reduce the carbon intensity of our mobility offer is how we will meet our 2025 fuel target of reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Globally, we have more than 3,000 EV charging points across our network*
*Including Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg
Our EV charging network now includes over 2,800 Circle K branded charging points in Europe, 600 partner charging points and over 50 heavy-truck charging points in Sweden. Our flagship station in Gothenburg, Sweden, has been named the second-best EV hub in the world, and our newest EV charging hub in Järna, Sweden, was awarded third place for the Best EV Hub in the World.
We continue to build on our experience and leading market position in Scandinavia to bring North American customers easy and adapted EV charging solutions as well as a compelling customer journey. In North America, we added 182 new charging positions in 48 stores across priority regions to improve accessibility and support the shift to electric mobility.

As a responsible retailer in the mobility space, our goals are straightforward: to commercialize and offer our customers sustainable fuel offers that are available to us as a retailer, to remain competitive, and to make a meaningful difference within our control in the role we play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To this end, we have been significantly growing the accessibility of our global renewable energy dispensers, with EV charging points, more sustainable fuel blends, and biofuels that have lower greenhouse gas emissions when used.
Reducing Energy Consumption

Across our North American network, our “One Touch” energy upgrade program is now complete. This has included the installation of LED lights for store interiors and exteriors, high-efficiency motors in walk-in cooler/freezer equipment, occupancy sensors in offices, washrooms and walk-in equipment, and building automation which remotely controls store temperature and exterior lighting. This program is now established as a standard for our new stores, and we assess all acquired stores for gaps to this standard. In addition, this past year in North America, we upgraded over 2,000 HVAC systems from standard efficiency to high efficiency. This will result in lower electricity consumption, improved maintenance costs and better overall store comfort for customers. In 2025, our global energy savings projects are a win for our planet and for our company as they resulted in approximately 50,676,800 kWh saved.

This past year, we took a number of steps to improve the energy efficiency of our equipment and operations. By reducing our energy consumption, we are supporting the transition to a cleaner future not just for our company, but for the communities where we work and live.
Packaging & Waste
 |
In 2025, driving our work to reach a 25% improvement in our packaging compared to our 2020 baseline, we gathered data globally on current branded packaging specifications, measuring our progress to date. The results show that we have exceeded our 2025 goal, with 29%* of our packaging portfolio by weight meeting our sustainable attributes: recycled content, certified materials, reusability, or compostable materials.
Trey Powell
Senior Vice President Global Merchandising & Executive Sponsor for Packaging and Waste
As a global provider of on-the-go food and drink items for immediate consumption, we have a significant role to play in improving our own packaging footprint. We are constantly on the lookout for ways to reduce our use of plastic, utilize recycled or certified materials, support local recycling initiatives and make sustainable solutions easy for our customers and our own teams.

We offer 100% sustainably sourced or certified coffee in all our stores through our partnership with Rainforest Alliance in Canada and Europe and we serve 100% sustainably sourced coffee in the U.S.

In 2025, we installed 50 new machines and 14 refurbished machines across our North American network, helping to reduce water consumption overall. In Europe, we replaced 150 roll-over machines to include Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. Each new machine comes with either a Water Reclamation system, reclaiming up to 50% of the water used, or an RO Recovery Capture system, which reuses reject water (1:1 ratio) that would otherwise have gone down the drain.
We aim to reduce the use of chemicals in our car washes and choose environmentally adapted products when possible. In 2025, we assessed our entire washing process to identify opportunities for reducing water, energy, and chemical usage. By optimizing various stages, we successfully decreased the consumption of high-alkaline chemicals and adjusted brush passes and drying times. This ongoing effort by our teams continues to enhance our environmental progress.
