Southeastern Grocers (SEG), the parent company of Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie, added electric vehicle charging stations and conducted several projects to increase energy efficiency at its grocery stores.

The grocer’s electric vehicle stations saw a 16.7% year-over-year increase in charging activity, demonstrating customers’ growing shift toward sustainable transportation. To further support this progress, three new charging stations were added at select neighborhood stores. 

SEG also implemented a variety of energy enhancements to stores throughout its footprint, including roof replacements using salvaged and energy-saving materials, as well as parking lot lighting upgrades to energy-efficient LEDs.

SEG’s annual report highlights its accomplishments over the last year in support of the environment and its neighbors in offering more sustainable products, furthering eco-responsibility practices and giving back to the communities it serves. The company’s grocery and liquor stores are located throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. 

“Reflecting on our incredible journey in 2024, we continue to find inspiration in the power of progress as we strengthen our dedication to building a more sustainable future,” said Anthony Hucker, CEO of Southeastern Grocers, in a statement. “Last year, we lent a helping hand to our neighbors in need, led product innovation with excellence and authenticity, and advanced our earth-friendly initiatives.”
