The Challenge
Paving the way forward for food sustainability
British Sugar needed a long-term strategy that would help them reduce their environmental impact and make improvements across their supply chain.
As a responsible business, much of British Sugar's sustainability progress had been made by collaborating with companies across its supply chain. They had already worked on a number of smaller, incremental projects and established three sustainability pillars: economic, social and environmental.
The next step for British Sugar was to be able to objectively demonstrate progress to their partners and stakeholders.
The Solution
Bringing transparency and accuracy to CO2 reporting
To help British Sugar's long-term sustainability projects, we objectively verified their reduction in CO2 emissions, through greenhouse gas verification with UK Emissions Trading Systems (ETS).
As British Sugar's long-term partner, we were able to help their teams put in place clear reporting processes that could be objectively verified by an independent third party. Not only would this help British Sugar reduce its impact on the environment, it would also help them demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and build trusted relationships with customers.
This process has helped protect British Sugar from risks associated with non-compliance including fines, legal action and negative publicity.
