Sustainability Policy
FFEPO91.2
Sustainability is a high priority for governments, consumers and food manufacturers. As a result, Fayrefield Foods Ltd has launched a Sustainability project to ensure that it takes positive steps towards operating in the most responsible and ethical way.
Fayrefield Foods Board of Directors defined a framework to develop a sustainable platform to take the Company into a more Sustainable future, our Fayrevision, focusing on People, Environment, Social & Governance.
- Fayrefield Foods is currently a SEDEX member and its primary factory has successfully undergone a SMETA Pillar 4 audit, the Head Office has undergone a SMETA Pillar 2 audit. One of our other sites has also completed a Pillar 2 audit successfully and the intention is that all sites will be this stage in the very near future.
- Five key areas to enable this are below:
| Area | Task |
|---|---|
| Supply Chain Map | Complete and update data from full supply chain including foodservice, contractors and supply interventions to obtain information from updated SAQ on Ethical status. |
| Corporate policies and business statements | Continual review and annual audit for effectiveness. |
| Health and Safety policy and procedure review | Continual review and annual audit for effectiveness. |
| HR Policies and Procedures | Continual review and annual audit for effectiveness.. |
| ESG Modelling based on scope 3 emissions requirements | Complete the target setting for ESG modelling set against Scope 3 for emissions targets and outputs from SMETA work programme and set up targets against the SBTi. |
- Partnering with suppliers who have active sustainability models, or who are currently building sustainability models.
- Reviewing our current energy supply – migrate supply over to Green Energy Supplier
- Review all transport with a view to minimise movement and therefore reduce CO2
- Ensure Gender Equality remains in the business, maintaining an appropriately balanced workforce.
- Explore the world of recyclable and recycled packaging.
To do this, Fayrefield Foods have enlisted the assistance of a specialist consultant as well as utilising expertise from other third parties such as Dairy UK, PTF, Campden BRI.
This policy is to be reviewed at each Board meeting with new targets set when milestones are achieved.
