The Plan A Way to Save campaign marks the second anniversary of the retailer’s ‘eco-pan’ and is designed to save family households up to GBP1,000 (US$1,455) a year.
The campaign will launch with online marketing, in store décor and extend as far as wash labels in clothing and provides tips on cutting food waste and lowering energy bills with the reward of incentive vouchers.
Chairman Sir Stuart Rose said the plan is designed to make it easy for customers to “make a few simple changes” in their homes.
“Becoming ‘greener’ needn’t be difficult, expensive, or time-consuming and in fact our green advice could save family households a thousand pounds,” he added.
