Harlech Foodservice is reaffirming its commitment to sustainability and supporting the UK’s net zero by 2050 target in its latest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) report.

Data showcases Harlech Foodservice prevents 14 tonnes – up from ten tonnes in its last reported results – of CO2e production per year by utilising food waste as a displacement fossil fuel and proactively avoiding landfill through recycling.

By investing in carbon efficient vehicles, the company has also cut its HGV-related CO2e emissions by nearly 10% and achieved an overall reduction across its transport, energy use and wider operations.

Mark Lawton, Harlech’s sales director, said: “Since our inception more than 50 years ago, we’ve always looked for ways to ensure our operations reflect our core values. As such, we’re proud to highlight the progress we’ve made towards our net zero by 2050 target, and hopefully our efforts can be a benchmark for others.”

The firm has increased donations to local communities, with close to £60,000 given to good causes including charities, schools, local events, and sports clubs. The business also earned the honour of being named one of the best medium-sized organisations to work for by the Sunday Times.

Internal investments have also been at the forefront of Harlech’s operations with 20% of its 250 employees promoted and several team members undertaking an NVQ level two in warehouse and distribution.
