Corporate Responsibility (‘CR’) underpins responsible and sustainable delivery of our key business drivers of strong customer relationships, employee performance, food and service quality; all of which depend upon having a motivated and productive workforce. Our CR strategy meets the needs of our business and of our stakeholders in a cost-effective, responsible and reputable manner.
We regard CR as a long-term, sustainable approach to business that seeks benefits for all our stakeholders and we have a well established commitment to support the wellbeing of our customers, employees, suppliers, local communities and the environment. We are working hard to continually improve the positive contribution we make through our operations by the responsible use of resources, the health and wellness of our customers and the employment opportunities that we create in local communities.
Over the past year, we have continued to drive further improvement across our business, particularly in the areas of nutrition and wellness, supply chain standards and increasing the scope of our environmental performance reporting. The Board believes that the progressive integration of CR across the Group and the inclusion of broader social and environmental issues into our decision making will help us to achieve our business goals, act as a building block for growth in shareholder value and benefit the communities in which we operate.
CR sits clearly within our overall strategy of disciplined growth, as we strive to provide the highest quality of service to all our customers.
