Approach to
ESG

To understand the environmental, social and governance issues that matter most to our business we carried out a materiality assessment. This involved engaging with key stakeholders – customers, employees, investors, suppliers – to understand what issues matter to them and aligning them to the issues that matter to our business. This enabled us to create our materiality matrix and focus our approach on the most important issues.

Addressing the most important issues

Our ESG vision is to deliver sustainable chilled meals, always be open and transparent and have a valued team.
