The core CSR strategy centres around four key pillars including achieving net zero by 2030, reducing waste, creating a greener supply chain solution and establishing a CSR culture.
Clark has previously worked for the Soil Association supporting local authorities and caterers to serve more healthy, sustainable and ethical food.
She commented: “Sustainability is already a strong part of the business’s culture and it’s fantastic to see that despite the many challenges the industry faces, there’s a real desire from the teams to push boundaries to make a tangible sustainability contribution and difference. Our industry has a huge environmental impact, representing over a quarter of the world’s GHG emissions. We all have a responsibility to find ways to reduce this.
“We therefore have some very ambitious CSR targets in place that look at our social value as well as environmental impact and our people, whilst also supporting the wants and needs of our clients. Our bold strategy is laying the groundwork for a long and sustainable future for the company and our teams and clients can be confident that we’re operating in a way that’s best for people and the planet.”
