Abstract
Wholesaler JJ Foodservice has pledged to cut its environmental footprint in 2022 by moving its total computing infrastructure to the cloud and expanding its vegan range.
By shifting to cloud-computing the business will rely less on hardware and physical machines which will result in a reduction in energy use. JJ Foodservice has already reduced total carbon emissions by 54% since 2014.
The wholesaler will also expand its vegan and organic produce and biodegradable-packaging offering. Sales of vegetarian and vegan products increased by 22% over the past two years, while bio-packaging sales have surged by 86%.
Sezer Ozkul, chief product officer at JJ Foodservice, said: “We want to continue helping our customers to eat more sustainably by offering an even wider range.”
JJ Foodservice supplies more than 100,000 restaurants and homes with more than 3,000 different products.
