“I'm delighted to support the FDF's second progress report on its Five-Fold
Environmental Ambition, setting out the food and drink sector's environmental
achievements in the past year.
I'm particularly struck by the way FDF members have further cut their CO2
emissions. The FDF's second progress report clearly shows how best practice,
well
applied, can yield both economic and environmental benefits.
The large number of companies that have signed up to the Courtauld Commitment on
waste packaging is very welcome, as is the FDF commitment to review the FEA
further in the light of developments, including Food 2030.
This report clearly sets out the progress made in the past year and I hope the
FDF will be able to get even more companies involved, so that we can meet our
legally binding CO2 targets.
Well done to the FDF for its leadership!”
The Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP
Secretary of State for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs
