Investments made to promote pet health and happiness, empower people and communities, and operate ethically and responsibly As the leading pet retailer of products, services and solutions for the lifetime needs of pets, PetSmart is taking inspiration from loving and learning from pets in its first annual corporate social responsibility (CSR) report – A World Through Their Eyes – released today. Recognizing the opportunity to take a greater role in setting the standard around key issues, PetSmart formalized CSR as a cross-functional discipline to harness the impactful work already happening, while identifying new opportunities to drive meaningful business and societal change. “This report captures the important progress we’ve made and sets the foundation for continued industry leadership across our commitments to our people, the pets in our care, the planet and the communities we serve,” said J.K. Symancyk, President & CEO of PetSmart. “I’m proud that our priorities reflect the thoughts, beliefs and passions of our more than 50,000 associates who are at the heart of everything we do.” Our newly introduced CSR framework, A World Through Their Eyes, captures a world as pets see it – one that is compassionate, inclusive, sincere and community centric – with a focus on three key priority areas: Healthy & Happy Pets, Empowered People and Responsible Stewards. The report also shares PetSmart’s progress across key priorities, including: Healthy & Happy Pets Empowered People Responsible Stewards “From my very first day, I’ve been struck by PetSmart’s unique culture of people who are passionately devoted to pets, deeply committed to operating responsibly, and innovating across a broad range of CSR areas,” said Joanne Dwyer, VP of Corporate Social Responsibility & Sustainability who joined PetSmart last year to guide the company’s CSR strategy. “Our daily work combines a deep love for pets and a desire to leave our world a better place. Our first CSR report establishes an important baseline to measure and report on our progress in the years to come.” Learn More: For more information and to read the full 2022 PetSmart CSR report, visit PetSmartCorporate.com/CSR.
