Our Strategy

Our new sustainability strategy covers key environmental, social and governance topics, to support us in managing foundational topics and expanding our sustainability ambitions. It demonstrates our broader corporate strategy to transform the global business into a value creative model through strong engagement with customers, superior product innovation and high service levels.

In 2023, our focus will be to integrate this strategy in our business, measuring baseline progress against our goals, and developing action plans to achieve our ambitions. To demonstrate our commitment to integrating sustainability into the processes of our business, we have appointed an ESG sponsor at board level, representing the commitment of our senior leadership to drive our strategic vision. As well as managing our impacts and improving efficiencies in our business, our new strategy will build resilience to global challenges such as climate change and respond to growing customer and regulatory needs.

Purpose Driven Governance

We strongly believe that sustainability is a value-creating agenda and our new strategy is fully aligned with our overall business ambition ‘To become the best partner for bake-off solutions across all our channels and markets’. Our approach has been informed by a detailed materiality assessment, to understand and address the drivers of sustainability performance in our business. With a strategy in place, we are now getting down to the hard work of implementing programmes to drive sustainable performance.
