This is the food service industry’s first commitment to a climate net zero economy, with the company announcing changes to ensure that sustainability is a core business objective across all services. They include the launch of an investment fund of €1 million for the UK and Irish business to support the development of carbon reduction and sustainable food production initiatives. A reduction in carbon emissions of at least 55% by 2025, and at least 65% across its operations and value chain by 2030, from a 2019 baseline, will also be achieved.
