Safeway is an industry leader in charitable giving and
environmental responsibility. In 2007 we raised nearly
$17 million for 14 leading breast cancer research
centers across North America, and we funded mobile
mammography vans that serve women in rural and
low-income areas in five states. We also helped launch
an innovative research initiative to explore the effects
of targeted heat in prostate cancer therapy. On the
environmental front, we purchased enough renewable
wind energy to power all of our U.S. fuel stations, our
office complexes in Northern California and our stores
in San Francisco, California and Boulder, Colorado;
we converted the first of a planned 40 stores in
California to solar energy power; and we diverted
some 500,000 tons of waste from landfills to recycling
centers and reuse programs. Recently we also
converted virtually our entire U.S. company-owned
truck fleet to run on cleaner-burning biodiesel fuel.
