This is what they say about themselves: CSR

Some examples of their claims follow:

Comet says that they sell more energy efficient A-rated appliances than any other retailer. The Kesa website claims more than 60% of their products sold in 2005 06 were A rated or better.

Comet say it recycles over 400,000 products a year.

Comet say it is recycling thousands of tonnes of cardboard and paper waste annually.

Comet helped to co-found the ‘Renew Trust’ and the fridge take-back service, which they say demonstrates how Comet can begin to address the indirect outcome of what they sell.

Other product stewardship initiatives include offering customers the opportunity to recycle their old inkjet cartridges and mobile phones by placing special envelopes in-store.
