Key achievements
In the first year after our pledges we:
- hosted a series of supplier sustainability summits, and encouraged a broader range of suppliers to take part in the Carbon Disclosure Project's supply chain project;
- commissioned a sustainable potato project, aiming to identify practical on-farm action to reduce our grower's carbon footprint and water impacts.
