The plan has been developed in collaboration with a range of organisations including the WWF, the Marine Stewardship Council, the Food and Drink Federation and the Prince’s Countryside Fund. The new guidelines covers all raw materials and manufacturing sites as well as third party suppliers.
The company claimed the move is another step in its history of sustainable development, with key milestones including co-founding the Marine Steward Council (MSC) with WWF in 1995 and stopping frying using palm oil in 2002.
