We recognise that we are in a climate emergency and will reflect this urgency in our food system transformation. We will commit to making our Net Zero ambition a business priority and a key indicator of how we are performing.

We will commit to highlighting the work and stories of those on the frontline of climate change solutions.

We will increase our investment in practices to aid our transformation to a Net Zero company and will continue to review our investment strategy as new technologies develop.

We will have open and constructive dialogue with our clients, suppliers and non-profit partners to hold them to the standards that we will hold ourselves to. We want those partners to be critical friends to us if we fall short.

Becoming a Net Zero food services company will be the responsibility of the entire leadership team. We will also commit to adding an advisor with specific climate change expertise to our Executive Team.

We will report our successes as well as being open about the challenges we face. We will ensure there is clarity in our communication with stakeholders and their feedback will be made public.

We will seek to align incentives for our workforce, clients and suppliers with our climate ambitions.

We will use our platform to call for policies that support Net Zero including lending our support to a carbon pricing system and national policies to reduce food waste, and being vocal and active in our opposition to damaging practices such as deforestation.
