BUNZL PLC AND


Sustainability is firmly embedded in the way we do business at Bunzl. As a global group, our aim is to: • Provide tailored solutions • Deliver through Responsible supply chains • Take action on climate change • Invest in our people


TAILORED SOLUTIONS & RESPONSIBLE SUPPLY CHAIN:


CATERING DIVISION BUILDING OUR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE


At Bunzl, we take a leading approach to ethical auditing across our supply chain, possess a carbon-efficient consolidation model, and supply an extensive range of alternative packaging products to drive the transition towards a more sustainable and circular economy.


Bunzl’s divisions are helping customers achieve sustainability goals. We have implemented tools to assess the material impact of packaging legislation and developed delivery solutions that reduce emissions. The company is at the forefront of the transition to a circular economy, offering customised sustainable packaging. The Asia team has increased ethical audits by 23%, expanding beyond Asia to cover high-risk sourcing regions and products.


TAKING ACTION TO CLIMATE CHANGE:


The impacts of climate change are already with us, as extreme weather and biodiversity loss affect the communities least able to withstand it. Without concerted and ambitious action from companies and governments, climate change will have a significant effect on our businesses and our daily lives. Our solutions significantly reduce road miles and minimise both our and our customers’ carbon footprint by consolidating multiple items into single mixed pallet deliveries. We’re also playing our part by cutting emissions across our own business – because it’s critical that we support the global efforts to limit warming.
