Carbon Neutral
#NetZero
At Foodmaker, we are committed to meaningful climate action across our operations and supply chain.• Scope 1 & 2: We will achieve net zero emissions by December 2025. This covers all direct emissions from our owned operations and indirect emissions from purchased electricity and energy.
• Scope 3: We are targeting net zero by 2030 for all indirect emissions in our value chain, including those from raw materials, logistics, packaging, and downstream product use. This commitment reflects our strategy to build a more sustainable, transparent, and future-focused food system — while supporting our customers’ own environmental goals.

Picked with Purpose. Grown with Care.
#RawMaterials
At Foodmaker, we believe flavour should feel good — not just taste good. That’s why we team up with trusted suppliers and growers around the world to bring us the best herbs and spices, grown the right way.
Together, we make sure every ingredient is rooted in responsibility. As part of our Environmental & Social Assessment, we look for suppliers who:
• Support growers in creating safe, fair working conditions • Champion planet-friendly farming that protects soil, water and all the buzzy little creatures • Keep everything transparent — from seed to shelf • Invest in local communities with tools, training and bright ideas So, whether it’s a zingy rub or a punchy glaze, you’ll know it’s been made with more than just flavour in mind — it’s been made with fairness, responsibility, and a little bit of Foodmaker magic.

Carbon Miles
#Carbon
At Foodmaker, we believe in keeping things simple — and sustainable.
That’s why we work directly with trusted farmers and processors to create the shortest, most efficient supply chain possible.
By minimising the number of steps between the field and our factory, we reduce unnecessary handling, transport, and storage.
Fewer links in the chain means fewer carbon miles — and more transparency, freshness, and accountability every step of the way.

Sustainable Building Design
#Building
Our facility is built with energy-saving features at its heart — designed to tread lightly on the planet while powering serious production.
Across all production areas, high-efficiency LED lighting keeps things bright while keeping our energy use low. These smart systems use up to 80% less electricity than traditional lighting and last significantly longer too, reducing both energy bills and waste.
We’ve started installing automated lighting controls that adjust brightness based on occupancy and natural light — helping us avoid lighting empty rooms and saving even more energy as we go. From floor to ceiling, we’ve made choices that prioritise sustainability without compromising on performance — proving that being green doesn’t mean slowing down.

Sustainability Starts with Our People
#People
At Foodmaker, we believe sustainability is a team effort — and it begins with how our staff get to work.
We actively support greener commuting through our Cycle to Work scheme and provide secure, covered bike parking to encourage pedal-powered travel.
For those using electric vehicles, we’ve installed charging points for both cars and bikes, making it easier for our team to make low-carbon choices every day. It’s all part of our commitment to building a culture of responsibility from the inside out.

Low-Energy Manufacturing Processes
#Manufacturing
At Foodmaker, sustainability is engineered into our daily operations. We optimise every step of production to reduce energy consumption while maintaining exceptional quality and safety.
Our production methods are designed for efficiency — from minimised mix times that cut down on power usage and equipment wear, to rainwater catchment systems that help reduce reliance on mains supply.
Our manufacturing processes are controlled by intelligent PLC systems and variable-speed inverters, optimising operational speeds to enhance efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
Extraction and other processes only operate when absolutely needed.
We run on a green energy tariff, meaning our electricity is sourced exclusively from renewable providers. Every recipe we blend is done with care — and a smaller environmental footprint.

Recycle Everything We Can
#Recycle
At Foodmaker, we’re passionate about reducing waste and recycling wherever possible.
All raw material packaging is carefully separated into paper and plastic, then baled and sold on for reuse — turning waste into resource.
In the office we encourage sustainable habits by issuing reusable water bottles to all staff, eliminating the need for disposable plastic or paper cups.
Even our office waste is sorted and recycled wherever feasible.
From factory floor to meeting room, we’re making conscious choices to keep waste out of landfill and do our bit for a cleaner planet.

The Green Dream Sales Team
#ElectricCar
Our Sales Executives are leading the charge—literally.
Each member of the team drives a fully electric vehicle, reducing emissions with every mile and supporting our mission for a cleaner, greener future.
But sustainability runs deeper than transport.
We use low-energy laptops and mobile devices, charge with smart power systems, and plan routes efficiently to cut down on unnecessary travel.
Wherever possible, we also switch the ignition off entirely—opting for Microsoft Teams meetings to connect remotely and lower our carbon footprint even further. Whether it’s the road we travel or the way we work, we’re proving that flavour and responsibility can share the same journey.

Green Deliveries
#GreenTruck
We’re taking meaningful steps to make our deliveries greener.
By partnering with logistics carriers that offer electric or low-emission vehicle options, we’re actively reducing the environmental impact of our distribution.
Efficient route planning is at the core of our delivery model—ensuring minimal miles travelled per drop. Wherever possible, we consolidate orders to enable five or more pallet drops per run, cutting down on both fuel use and carbon emissions.
It’s smarter, cleaner logistics—bringing flavour to your door with a lighter footprint on the planet.
