Abstract
BM has become ‘one of the first contract caterers in the UK’ to roll out carbon labelling across its business and industry sites.

By working with Nutritics, BM now offers its team an automated carbon footprint scoring system which helps produce carbon labels for its menus. ‘FoodPrint’ will allow BM to generate a ‘carbon badge’ for each recipe that can be added onto menus, similar to nutritional traffic light labels on food packaging.

According to Nutritics research, 49% of people consider sustainability when purchasing food or drink, while 42% would choose a venue because its signage displayed a commitment to reducing CO2 emissions.  

Sally Grimes, quality standards manager at BM, said: “FoodPrint provides us with a reliable Scope 3 ESG reporting and carbon labelling system. Having this information empowers us as a business to make more informed decisions to help reduce our carbon footprint, but also allows our customers to see our sustainability journey, understand the impact of their food choices on the environment and make informed decisions themselves.”
