Corporate Social Responsibility Report: 2013

Above and beyond our mission to Delight Our Members is our

unwavering commitment to improve the lives of all Members —

whether they’re Team Members, Club Members or members of our

local and global communities. This year again, BJ’s took action on new

opportunities to make a real difference for those whom we serve.

BJ’s is dedicated to providing Members with high-quality, brand-name food and merchandise at prices that are significantly lower than supermarkets, supercenters, department stores, drug stores and specialty retail stores. BJ’s carries the most product variety of any wholesale club, with more than 7,000 items, including supermarket-sized staples, USDA Choice meats, all-natural and certified organic products and stock-up items. BJ’s is the only wholesale club to accept all manufacturers’ coupons and for greater convenience, offers the most payment options, including EBT.Giving back has always been at the very core of BJ’s culture. Through local clubs, corporate sponsorships, in-kind donations, volunteerism, national programs and the BJ’s Charitable Foundation, BJ’s supports and enhances programs that provide vital services within each community we serve.Headquartered in Westborough, Massachusetts, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc. is a leading operator of warehouse clubs in the eastern United States. The company operates more than 200 Clubs in 15 states.

Dear Reader,

Welcome to our first Corporate Social Responsibility Report. This provides an overview of

all the work we do at BJ’s Wholesale Club to ensure that we conduct ourselves and run our

business in a manner that is true to our Core Values of Team, Community, Respect and Integrity.

The title of this report is “People, Products, Planet” because of the work that our Team Members

do every day to ensure we take care of the people around us, that the products we offer meet

the highest standards and that our operations go the extra inch to reduce our impact on

natural resources.

One of the things I think about most when it comes to our Members is being a relevant and

trusted ally. Our Members are not just looking for a great value; they want a retailer they can trust.

We know our Members as well as any other retailer on the planet. This allows us to offer

products and services that align with what is important to them, whether it is GMO-free

food options or fair trade coffee that not only perks them up, it also gives farmers in Belize

an opportunity to improve their lives.

Being a good global citizen is what our Members expect, and this report is designed to

show the full breadth of programs and initiatives that help us do good while doing well.

I know you will be delighted by what you learn in this report. I also hope it leaves our

Team Members and Club Members feeling proud of their association with BJ’s and

what we’re accomplishing for the betterment of all.

Laura Sen

President and CEO, BJ’s Wholesale Club

Part of being a sustainable and healthy business is having healthy employees and well-cared-for communities.

BJ’s has a Wellness Ambassador Network, which establishes a contact at each Club location to encourage wellness across all Clubs and Home Office departments. Plus, BJ’s has developed a deep commitment to support our communities with multiple ways for Team Members to contribute their many talents and resources where it counts the most.

Feeding Communities Program donates millions of pounds of food each year. Launched in 2011, in partnership with Feeding

America® and its food banks, and local member

agencies, BJ’s Feeding Communities Program

is a company-wide effort to help in the fight

against hunger in our communities.

Instead of discarding good, wholesome and

nutritious unsold food, our Clubs are donating

millions of pounds of food each year —

including fresh produce, baked goods, frozen

meats, dairy, fish and cheese — to help support

42 food banks in the 15 states BJ’s serves.

WHAT IS NOT SOLD IS SHARED

Amount Donated

Meat: 2,108,422 lb.Including seafood, cheese, prepared foods, chicken, beef, etc.

Produce: 5,103,710 lb.Fruits and vegetables

Dairy: 778,344 lb.Milk, juice, yogurt, refrigerated dough

Bakery: 1,301,733 lb.Bread products, cakes, muffins, etc.

Diverted Waste

Saved: 3,622 tonsTons of potential waste diverted from landfills

Reduced Disposal Costs

Saved: $269,674Avoided 360 compactor pulls for savings over a 2-year period

Giving is also saving. Below is the amount of surplus meat, produce, dairy and bakery

items that has been donated since the inception of the program,

plus cost avoidance and reduced landfill pressure. Poundage is

reported by partner food banks, for 2013.

At the close of 2013, BJ’s had donated over 22 million pounds

of frozen meat, poultry and fish, dairy and bakery products.

That is the equivalent of over 18 million meals.

Get InVOLved Employee Recognition Program.BJ’s encourages all Team Members to make the time to give back to their

local communities. BJ’s makes it twice as rewarding by recognizing those

who volunteer and making a donation to the Team Member’s cause.

Everybody wins.

Some highlights of the program include:

• Volunteer Guidebook to help get volunteer events started

• Encouragement and resources to participate in any number of national

service days, including Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, National

Volunteer Week, and 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance

• Annual peer nomination process for recognition of volunteer efforts

AT BJ’s, VOLUNTEERING TIME TO COMMUNITY SERVICE IS A WIN ALL AROUND

WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH, TEAM MEMBERS STEP UP

A unique way to support our Team Members in need.In 2012, BJ’s was excited to announce our charitable fund designed to provide

assistance to Team Members and their immediate families. The fund receives

contributions from Team Members across the company that are used to pay for

expenses incurred as a direct result of qualified hardships such as injury, illness,

death, fire, unforeseen sale/foreclosure of a rented home or natural disaster.

As part of our Team Members Giving Program, Team Members can contribute to this

fund through our payroll deduction program. In its first months, 19 applications were

approved by the Team Member Selection Committee and $30,244 was granted.

160,000 MILES52 DAYS2,648 PARTICIPANTS10,000 Steps-A-Day Program.BJ’s introduced an eight-week walking program. Participants in the 10,000

Steps-A-Day Program were given a pedometer and a personalized website to

help track their daily steps and progress. In total, 2,648 Team Members

participated and walked 160,000 miles in 52 days.

American Heart Association recognized BJ’s as a Fit-Friendly Work Site.As a “Gold” level workplace, our work sites fulfill

criteria such as offering employees physical

activity support, increasing healthy eating options

at work and promoting a wellness culture.

BJ’s is also an annual sponsor of the Boston Heart

Walk and GO Red for Women events, donating

over $45,000 to the Boston-area group.

FOR 240 TEAM MEMBERS, IT WAS TIME TO QUITBJ’s Tobacco-Free Workplace.As of January 1, 2013, BJ’s became a

tobacco-free workplace. Plus, as of

January 1, 2014, BJ’s Distribution Center

became tobacco-free as well.

In addition to a tobacco-free workplace,

BJ’s introduced Cigna’s Quit Today Program

for Team Members who are trying to quit

smoking. Wisely, 240 Team Members

used this program to go tobacco-free.

Team Member Giving made easierthrough payroll deductions.The Team Member Giving Program provides an easy

way for BJ’s Team Members to donate to their local

communities. Team Members select an organization

of their choice from a list of 13 charities that

represent a broad array of causes and interests.

Donations are made through a payroll deduction

program with the option of either a one-time or

weekly payroll deductions. In 2013, our Team Members

donated $227,350 to our partner charities:

BJ’s Aisle Help Fund

American Cancer Society

Since the program began, BJ’s has donated over $1.5 million tothousands of schools across the country.

Adopt-A-School Program donates $102,500 to 205 schools.No strings attached.Since 1996, BJ’s has helped thousands of schools in the

neighborhoods that our Clubs serve.

• “Adoption” in the BJ’s program means a one-time donation

that can be used as discretionary, self-directed funding.

• Over the past 18 years, the Adopt-A-School Program’s

mission has been to give adopted schools support to

enhance existing programs and curriculum objectives.

• During the 2013 school year, BJ’s adopted 205 schools

and donated $102,500.

In 2005, BJ’s Charitable Foundation was established to

enhance and enrich community programs that primarily

benefit children and families. The program’s goal is to create a

positive, long-lasting impact on the communities BJ’s serves.

The Charitable Foundation contributes the majority of its

funding to organizations that help people in need by

providing services in areas of self-sustainability, hunger

prevention, health care and education. Last year, BJ’s

Charitable Foundation granted $2,460,105

to 376 nonprofit organizations.

GIVING WHERE IT REALLY COUNTSBJ’s Charitable Foundation continues to help the most vulnerable.

Since 2005, BJ’s has donated more than $16 million to over 1,800 community organizations in our 15-state footprint. Learn more: BJs.com/charity

During the 2013 Community Kids’ Toy Drive,

BJ’s Clubs and the Home Office donated over

to 206 local nonprofit organizations.

BJ’s Power of Pink Program increasesawareness, resources and funding. BJ’s Power of Pink Program provides an opportunity each October

for our vendor community to contribute funds to our partner,

The National Breast Cancer Foundation. Vendor involvement in

the program is promoted through various marketing vehicles to

enhance the Member recognition of vendors’ brands with this cause.

At the same time, Members are provided access to valuable early

detection resources and the opportunity to purchase products

that support this important cause.

BJ’s VENDORS JOIN IN TO SUPPORT NATIONAL BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION

Early Detection Plan downloads are increasing due to thisprogram, and more women and families are able tofind helpful resources when faced with a difficult situation.

In 2013, BJ’s, with our Vendors’ support, raised

to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

$410,000

The Community Kids’ Toy Drive.Each year, BJ’s promotes a company-wide giving

initiative around the holidays that engages Team

Members and Club Members to give back to

the community. The Community Kids’ Toy Drive

invites Members to donate toys that are

distributed to local nonprofits.

1,000,000 TREES PLANTED BY 2020

Next year, BJ’s hopes to plant another142,854 trees across BJ’s footprint.

BJ’s teams up with Arbor Day Foundation.In 2013, BJ’s joined forces with the Arbor Day Foundation

to plant over 1 million trees by the year 2020 in our

nation’s forests — especially in communities devastated by

natural disasters.

During the spring of 2013, BJ’s donated over 142,900 trees

and will continue to do so annually through 2020.

In October 2012, the New York and New Jersey area was

hit by Hurricane Sandy. After the storm, FEMA designated

much of the region a natural disaster zone where amid the

devastation, thousands of trees were lost.

Because of our investment in the environment, BJ’s

decided to use a portion of our Arbor Day investment to

help with replanting. We hope to continue providing new

trees to communities rebuilding after natural disasters.

BJ’s Fuel Your Fundraiser Program.BJ’s Fuel Your Fundraiser Program empowers nonprofits and schools to raise money for their programs by selling

discounted Memberships. In 2013 alone, $134,475 was paid back to the community through this simple program!

SBJ’s continues to raise the standard with forward-thinking environmental and sustainability programs. We provide our Members with high-quality merchandise and food while ensuring the long-term health of local and international communities and sourcing environments.

Many claims in the retail world around sustainability or environmental stewardship are unregulated. At BJ’s, we self-regulate and as such hold ourselves and our vendors to the highest standards through uncompromising published guidelines and oversight.

BJ’s sustainability efforts in merchandising fall into four categories.

• Reducing, which means that vendors minimize the use of natural resources such as land, raw materials, energy and water in their product development.

• Responsible Sourcing, which means that vendors utilize our natural resource base in a way that meets the needs of today without compromising resources for future generations. This ensures practices that are good for the environment and good for their employees.

• Recovering Resources, which means that vendors reduce further need for resources through practices such as material recycling, water conservation and the development of products that can be used multiple times.

• Lessening Environmental Impact where we ensure our vendors are using best practices around disposal of waste and management of their carbon and greenhouse gas emissions.

BEST PRACTICES, BEST SEAFOOD —TODAY AND TOMORROWBJ’s Seafood Sustainability Partnership.BJ’s goal is to continue to provide safe, quality seafood

at an excellent value for years to come without compromise.

We’re committed to offering our Members the freshest

high-quality fish and seafood, while diligently working toward

100% sustainability. Currently, greater than 95% of BJ’s seafood comes from sustainable sources.

Our efforts include:

• Partnering with Sustainable Fisheries Partnership and the Marine

Stewardship Council to evaluate fisheries and provide standards for use

• Establishing a farmed fish policy — all suppliers must demonstrate

a long-term commitment to sustainable practices

• Enforcing a wild-caught fish policy — all seafood must be legally

caught and not from over-fished populations

Today:

• Ensuring chemical-free shrimp for our freezer cases containing

only shrimp and salt, never artificial preservatives

Tomorrow:

• Ensuring a 100% sustainable seafood supply by 2014

NO CHILD LABOR NO HUMAN TRAFFICKING NO UNSAFE CONDITIONS

Steps 1 – 3 must be documented by photo evidence and

approved by BJ’s. If the manufacturer fails to complete any of

the required steps or is found to have multiple/flagrant

violations, BJ’s will not accept any goods produced by the

facility and notify the relevant authorities. To date, four children

were discovered, released and reunited with their families as

part of our social compliance program in 2013.

New — Troubled Regions Program: This policy allows BJ’s to

identify areas (e.g., Bangladesh) that could create sourcing

issues or business interruption, and implement enhanced

social reviews. We recommend that our Vendors do not source

from areas of the world that are plagued with civil or social

unrest, violations of human rights law, or repeated incidents of

unsafe or unfair working conditions. This helps BJ’s to avoid

crisis situations.

Starting 2014, all vendors must acknowledge that they are

not using Uzbekistan cotton. Uzbekistan has state-sanctioned

use of forced and child labor in cotton production.

Our Merchandise Team works with vendors to ensure

products are not made using manufacturing practices

that rely on child labor or unsafe working conditions.

We achieve this through the BJ’s Social Compliance

Program, which ensures our vendors are following

business practices that adhere to BJ’s Vendor Code of

Conduct. The program requires annual Social

Accountability Audits of our vendors’ manufacturing

facilities. The audit evaluates several human rights

concerns, including child labor, human trafficking and

safe working conditions. If a facility fails any one of

the audit areas or is in violation of our Vendor Code of

Conduct, BJ’s takes a Fix, Not Avoid approach to try and

remedy the situation when possible. This approach

allows BJ’s to have an impact on the people supplying

our merchandise instead of walking away and leaving

workers without jobs.

As an example of Fix, Not Avoid, the photo above right,

shows an underage worker, with her mother and the

factory owner, being paid owed wages and given a bus

ticket home — requirements outlined in BJ’s Child Labor

Policy. This child was working at a manufacturer’s factory

and was discovered during a BJ’s Social Accountability

audit of the facility. The facility complied immediately

with our requirements, which include:

1. The worker is immediately stopped from working and

released from any obligations

2. The worker receives all wages due immediately

3. The manufacturing facility must purchase a ticket to

transport the worker home

BJ’s Social Compliance Program — a 'Fix, Not Avoid' approach.

Ethical Bakery Program:Fair Trade and Palm Oil.BJ’s values the importance of high-quality products for

their Members. The Ethical Bakery Program ensures

bakery items contain quality ingredients that are sourced

in a manner that does not harm the environment and

ensures farmers and workers are being fairly compensated.

Through the Ethical Bakery Program, BJ’s created a guide

for all buyers on the effects of unregulated palm oil.

Palm oil is an effective and healthy ingredient grown in

warm, tropical climates, most commonly in Indonesia and

Malaysia.

Unfortunately, valuable rainforest

land is often burned and cleared to

build the palm oil plantations.

BJ’s is committed to using responsibly

sourced oil. We work with our

vendors to ensure that the palm oil

used in our products is traceable to

a fair and responsible source.

In 2012, BJ’s began collecting palm

oil data from Own Brands Bakery

suppliers as part of the BJ’s Own Brands

Program. In addition, in 2013 BJ’s

began monitoring Health and Beauty

Products. By the end of 2014, all BJ’s

Own Brand products containing

palm oil will have deforestation-free

palm oil.

BAKED GOODS TASTE BETTER WITH ETHICAL INGREDIENTS

Farm to Club Program in every BJ’s location.“BJ’s defines local as grown within the state in which it is sold. We have

farms dedicated to growing products for us,” said Produce Merchant

Dominic Viglione. “We want to show Members that we support the state

and are supporting the local farmer.”

BJ’s has working relationships with one or more farmers in each of the

15 states we operate in. These farmers provide our Clubs with peppers,

cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, corn, eggplant, and both green and

yellow squash. With an average of three farms per state, we are proud of

our 40 farmer partnerships, and plan to continue growing these

important local alliances.

BUYING LOCAL IS BUYING FRESH

Just one of our 40 farmer partnerships Scott and Wayne Hutkoski now cultivate 200 acres of farmland located in the Connecticut River Valley growing produce for BJ’s Farm to Club Program.

Since BJ’s strives to provide high

quality and responsibly sourced

products, Fair Trade Certified

sugar is a top priority. In many

developing countries, farmers

and workers are not receiving an

equitable or fare wage for their goods.

Through the Merchandising Environmental Stewardship

Program, BJ’s ensures that in developing countries,

farmers and producers are paid

a fair wage for their goods and

ensures all Fair Trade labeled items

contain a minimum of 25% fair

trade products.

And we took it a step further to

specify that all sugar in our baked

goods comes from Belize. This

allows us to have a bigger impact

in this region.

In 2012, Belizean farmers

received an extra $10,000 (U.S.),

which allowed them to reseed

their land, build communal

bathrooms where there was no

running water and send more

children to school.

BJ’s All Natural and Organic Labeling makes it clear and easy for Members.The goal of this program is to make it easy for Members to identify

products they may prefer that meet BJ’s highest standards for All

Natural and Organic. Members can now walk down aisles where green

and brown pricing signage clearly indicate that all the products there

will comply with BJ’s All Natural Program and Federal Organic

standards. Members will also know that these items will meet their

own high standards and expectations.

Some examples of BJ’s and Federal standards:

• Any All Natural meat products have no additives.

• Animals never receive hormones, antibiotics or animal by-products.

• Clubs currently carry 149 All Natural and 125 Organic products.

'ALL NATURAL ' — NOW YOU’LL KNOW IT WHEN YOU SEE IT

PLA

NET Our Energy and Operations teams here at BJ’s are always pursuing ways to

save resources throughout the Clubs, Home Office and Distribution Centers.

There are a wide range of programs in place that promote savings of not only resources, but money, time and processes. Energy efficiency and recycling are not only great for the environment, but are rewarding business practices.

2013 Recycling Results.BJ’s entire company plays a key role in recycling efforts — from the Clubs, to the Distribution Centers to the Home

Office. It’s a fact, recycling is great for the environment and a rewarding business practice.

Below are some of the significant company-wide recycling accomplishments of 2013.

100% Paperless Payroll rolls out.Historically, BJ’s sent out 24,000 live checks and paper pay statements and

mailed over 200 overnight mail boxes weekly. In total, that is over 1 million

pieces of paper and 10,000 boxes being used as part of the weekly payroll

process. However, BJ’s moved to 100% paperless weekly payrolls.

Team Members were encouraged to sign up for direct deposits or the

alternative option, ADP ALINE Paycard. As a result of BJ’s commitment

to environmental sustainability, this program has helped preserve

1 million pieces of paper and eliminate $125,000 in overnight

mail fees annually.

1 MILLION PIECES OF PAPER AND 10,000 BOXES–SAVED!

'ENERGY COMMANDER' TAKES CHARGESave-a-Watt Program.All Clubs have an Energy Commander who is responsible for reducing

energy costs and implementing programs from the Home Office.

This initiative is estimated to save an average of $75,000 annually.

One of the key strategies of the Save-a-Watt Program is the Dark Club

Lighting Survey whereby the Energy Commander asks Club managers for

verification that all after-hours lights are set up to save, by:

• Ensuring that only half the overhead sales lights are on

• Shutting off office and restroom lights, and using occupancy

sensors to turn on only when in use

• Allowing only necessary receiving area lights to remain on

• Shutting off back-of-the-house lights, such as deli, bakery, meat

room, etc., and using wall switches for light only when occupied

BJ’s also reduces energy costs during the day by:

• Turning off all exterior wall-packs and pole lights

WITH SUNLIGHT, SAVINGS ARE LOOKING UP BJ’s Skylights save energy.In select Clubs, we’re harnessing the sun so

Members can enjoy warm, natural light while

they shop. During the day, as sunlight streams

through skylights, lights are dimmed.

As daylight fades, energy-saving fluorescent

lights gradually turn on so the Clubs stay bright.

BJ’s ROOF PANELS POWER THE CLUBS Solar Panel Program.

To date, we’ve donated roof space for solar panels at 18 Clubs in

6 states. We then purchase the 4,800 kW they generate — that’s

enough to power 3,700 homes for a year. Plus, the money saved

can also help fund additional green energy initiatives!

Solar Panel Program:

18 Clubs producing 4,3000,000 kWh —that’s enough to power 3,700 homes for a year.

Habitat Preservation on a local level.In several Club locations, BJ’s has been involved in

Habitat Preservation and Wetlands & Maintenance

Restoration in response to local community needs.

Examples of these programs include:

DC 800 (Uxbridge) – Involved in Turtle Habitat

Protection of 3 endangered species that nest on the

property. BJ’s continues to annually monitor and

inspect the turtle nesting areas and property enclosure.

Club 175 (Revere) – Received a Certificate of

Compliance for the wetlands in 2012. The Club has an

ongoing monitoring program that consists of regular

inspections for quality of vegetation and storm water

maintenance.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE CLUB BY CLUBClub 321 (Hyannis) – Cape Cod Preservation: Reduction

of vehicle traffic through encouraging use of public

transportation and bicycling to work.

Club 031(Fairfield) – Wetland Mitigation Project:

BJ’s actively manages a wetland restoration project,

removing and controlling invasive species and re-planting,

including a plan to add a bench and conservation

signage so Club Members, Team Members and others in

the community can enjoy all the new improvements.
