UK food manufacturer The Compleat Food Group has published its ESG report, which highlights significant progress across the sustainability targets.

The manufacturer reported a 36 per cent reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions compared with the baseline year, which was supported by the expansion of renewable electricity across production sites.

Additionally, the Group had an ongoing investment in energy efficiency initiatives. The Compleat Food Group also significantly grew its Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) programme with environmental performance data available across its entire product portfolio, including over 4,000 products.

The research provides detailed insight into the climate, nature, water and nutritional impact of products, which enables the business to identify opportunities to better product performance.

Nick Field, CEO of The Compleat Food Group, said: “For the past three years, we’ve shared our ESG progress, and we’re proud to keep building on what we’ve achieved. This report reflects our commitment to combining long-term ambitions with tangible action today, ensuring that sustainability is woven into every aspect of our business.

“We have proudly embedded ESG into the decisions we make, helping drive positive outcomes for our people, our planet and our communities. While the journey continues, we remain focused on making meaningful progress, building a more resilient business for the future, and ultimately, creating food to feel good.”

In addition to the major milestone, the group has improved its approach to nature and water stewardship and developed a dedicated water stewardship roadmap and expanded its biodiversity monitoring.

The Compleat Food Group also pushed towards its charitable initiatives through its partnership with Felix; the business redistributed over 402k meals to community organisations.
