Form PX14A6G Overview: The Accountability Board, Inc. has filed a Notice of Exempt Solicitation with the SEC to urge Albertsons Companies (ACI) shareholders to vote FOR Proposal Four in the 2025 proxy. The proposal requests annual disclosure of (1) the total pounds of food waste generated and (2) the percentage diverted from landfill.
Key Arguments by the Filer:
- Albertsons has publicly committed to diverting 90 % of food waste from landfill by 2030, yet does not calculate or disclose its current diversion rate or total waste generated.
- The Board’s opposition calls industry food-waste calculators unreliable, but the filer argues that some form of calculation is indispensable to track progress toward the 90 % goal.
- Without a baseline or annual metric, investors cannot evaluate the effectiveness or cost-efficiency of Albertsons’ diversion programs.
Peer Comparison with Kroger (FY 2023):
- Kroger operates 2,722 locations with >95 % participation in diversion programs and publicly reports 525 million lbs of food waste generated, diverting 51 % (~268 million lbs).
- Albertsons operates 2,269 locations; only “more than half” participate in diversion programs. The company discloses 325 million lbs diverted but does not report total waste generated or its diversion percentage.
- Average diverted per participating Albertsons location (~286,596 lbs) is roughly 177 % higher than Kroger’s (~103,634 lbs), implying potentially higher generation per store.
Financial Relevance: A cited Forbes article estimates Kroger’s food waste costs at ~US$5.6 billion (≈4 % of sales). The filer contends that Albertsons’ undisclosed—and possibly larger—food-waste footprint could have material cost implications.
Request to Shareholders: Vote “FOR” Proposal Four to secure the basic data needed for oversight of progress toward the 90 % diversion commitment and to evaluate any financial exposure related to food waste.
