Greggs targets food waste and packaging in first sustainability plan

March 26, 2021 EcoVadis EN


Leading UK on-the-go food retailer, Greggs, has launched its first full sustainability plan, setting out its ten commitments to ‘help make the world a better place by 2025 – and beyond’.
Greggs’ ten commitments will focus on three key areas that align to the company’s values and where it believes it can make the most difference. These are:

Stronger, healthier communities: to play its part in improving the nation’s diet by helping to tackle obesity, providing free breakfasts to schoolchildren, and giving surplus food to those most in need.
Safer planet: to become a carbon neutral, zero waste business.
Better business: to increase the diversity of its workforce, and to use its purchasing power responsibly, with the aim of making things better in its supply chain.
