Our Vision

As part of our overarching sustainability strategy to 'make good food accessible to everyone', our vision is to ensure that our food and all our products are produced, sold and consumed in ways that benefits producers, people and the planet.

At the foundation of our strategy are three themes: producers, people and the planet. For each, we've mapped priority issues and set clear ambitions and measurable targets across a variety of sustainability topics.

Sourcing in a fair and sustainable way which improves the lives of people and animals, promotes long-term food production and strengthens relationships.

Topic Areas:

Making safe, affordable and nutritious food accessible, and caring for our colleagues and communities.

Topics Areas:

Promoting the responsible, efficient use of resources and minimising losses across the food system.

Topics Areas:

Responsible and Sustainable Sourcing
