Turning challenges into opportunities to drive positive change

Today, there is a greater than ever understanding of the contributions of the food sector to some of the world’s most significant sustainability challenges. Meanwhile, there is a growing body of evidence highlighting the opportunities that a shift to more sustainable food systems can deliver for people and the planet.

Our Sustainability Strategy seeks to address our own impacts and contribution to key sustainability challenges in the food travel sector as well as leverage emerging opportunities to drive positive change. We see this as our responsibility.

And, as we operate at an intersection of different sectors and stakeholders, we are in a unique position to be able to bring our different stakeholders together to catalyse action and work in partnership to deliver a shared vision for a sustainable food travel sector.

Our strategic approach

Our Sustainability Strategy focuses on the three key areas of Product, Planet and People, and is underpinned by high standards of governance. Our 10 key commitments address the most important social and environmental issues for our business and stakeholders.

Our strategy also aligns with a number of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals – including zero hunger, responsible consumption and production, good health and well-being and climate action. It’s important to us that we contribute to these global priorities for 2030.

Harnessing our culinary expertise to reimagine food for people and the planet

When it comes to our recipes and menus, we’re taking an integrated approach to delivering outcomes for both climate and health. 

There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that transitioning to diets rich in plants and whole grains, while reducing reliance on animal proteins, can yield a triple win for the climate, nature and
people’s health.

Leveraging this research and our culinary expertise, we are crafting great tasting, healthier and more sustainable dishes that benefit both people and the planet.
