That means Target will continue designing to eliminate waste, using materials that are regenerative, recycled or sourced sustainably, and to create products that are more durable, easily repaired or recyclable, it says. Target has 10 billion-dollar owned brands, including kids label Cat &amp; Jack, accessories label A New Day and home brand Opalhouse. Already, circular design principles are part of its Universal Thread and Everspring lines. \n\n\n By 2040, Target commits to net zero emissions across its operations. It's a pledge matching that of competitor Walmart Inc \n\n\n Target's net-zero goal includes the much more challenging assertion for any consumer company: curbing Earth-warming emissions throughout a far-flung supply chain. \n\n\n Research at consultants McKinsey says that more than 80% of greenhouse-gas emissions and more than 90% of the impact on land, air, water, biodiversity and geological resources sit on the supply-chain side of any large consumer company's operations. Fashion, in particular, will be a drag on the globe's push to slow global warming to 1.5 degrees . \n\n\n The Target pledge includes creating zero waste to landfills in its U.S. operations. And the retailer says it has projects and partnerships in place that when complete will result in purchasing nearly 50% of its electricity from renewable sources, toward 100% by 2030. \n\n\n Global consumer conglomerate UnileverUL (#phrase-company?ref=COMPANY%7CUL;onlineSignificance=significant) said it will work with outlets like Target to hit its own net-zero emissions pledge . \"Carbon reduction is needed to work toward a more sustainable world for all.

Adjusted EPS at $3.69 was 525% higher than last year when COVID-19 gripped the economy. Sales totaled $23.88 billion, up from $19.37 billion last year. \n\n\n Target's stock price is up 32% in the year to date and more than 90% over the past year.
