The company notably highlights the collaborative work it has done with industry bodies such as Foodservice Footprint, Planet Mark, WRAP, Hospitality Action and the Dallaglio Foundation.
Shirley Duncalf, head of sustainability at Bidvest Foodservice, said: “Our vision is to be the best foodservice provider and leading the industry’s sustainability and social responsibility agenda is a key part of this.
“Our teams have already made great strides in achieving the sustainability and social responsibility goals set out in our 2013/14 sustainability report.
“In some cases, we have actually exceeded some of our targets - such as achieving a 15% reduction in average weight used for our own brand packaging, versus a target of 5%.
“Working closely with customers, suppliers and key industry partners is essential for us to serve up the right sustainability recipe for our customers’ and the industry’s success.”
Over the last 12 months Bidvest has introduced 237 Euro VI vehicles to improve fuel efficiency of delivery vehicles in line with the company’s pledge to phase out all vehicles that achieve less than the Euro VI emissions.
Also, it has ensured that 44% of products in Bidvest Foodservice’s own brand range already met or exceeded the government’s 2017 salt targets by the end of June 2015.
