Producing food and raw materials in a way that is at odds with natural and social systems is no longer a viable option.
A large part of the environmental impact of our operations can be linked to the farming and processing of the products we sell. Therefore, we work with our suppliers over the long term to minimise these impacts and improve the environmental and social outcomes of doing business.
We define sustainable farming as farming and fishing practices that promote a regenerative food system in which:
Ultimately, we aim to produce sufficient food to meet the needs of our customers, now and in the future.
Our management approach to sustainable and regenerative farming is captured in our Farming for the Future, Fishing for the Future, and animal welfare programmes. We support this approach by partnering with organisations that promote sustainable farming and responsible sourcing.
Our suppliers are required to understand and adhere to our sustainable farming, fishing, and animal welfare policies and guidelines.
More information on the focus area and our performance thereon can be found in our annual Good Business Journey Report
