codes and carbon labelling in many of our restaurants to give diners that information in an accessible way. It’s a simple step that builds trust, demonstrates alignment with company values, and encourages people to make climate- friendly choices.
Social value and community impact Sustainability isn’t only environmental. Catering can strengthen communities by working with social enterprises, supporting charities and ensuring fair wages across the supply chain. For us, that means everything from funding thousands of school breakfasts through our Magic Breakfast partnership to ensuring every member of our team is paid the Real Living Wage. These commitments matter to employees – they want to know their lunch break contributes to something bigger.
Governance and long-term
investment Finally, catering companies themselves must be set up to make sustainability decisions for the long term. We’re privately owned, with no external investors pushing short-

term profit targets. That allows us to invest in roles like James Carr, our head of ESG and safety, without having to justify immediate ROI. Facilities managers choosing catering partners should look closely at how those businesses are governed, because it directly affects their ability to deliver on sustainability promises.
A broader role for food at work Food is one of the most visible and emotive services employers provide. Get it right, and you do far more than feed people. You nourish their health, you connect them socially and you help them feel proud of where they work.
Sustainability in catering has come a long way. Today, it’s about everything from waste and supply chains to wellbeing and engagement. Facilities managers who recognise this can use workplace food as a genuine lever for sustainability that benefits both people and planet, while strengthening the business itself. For us, it’s about setting high standards across every aspect of our business and the service we provide customers. That helps us deliver on everything from food quality to sustainability.
