Sustainability
Sustainability is about achieving a better quality of life for everyone, now and for future generations to come. The environment is a central facet of this.
Food and Drink Federation members are committed to making a significant
contribution to improving the environment. Our role as food and drink
manufacturers is
to supply consumers with safe, nutritious, appetising and affordable food and
to
help them make sustainable choices which will secure these benefits for the
future.
Ambition 2025 - Shaping Sustainable Value Chains
FDF's “Ambition 2025 – Shaping Sustainable Value Chains” builds on the success
of our Five-Fold Environmental Ambition and is the next step on our journey to
help deliver a more sustainable food system.
In order to remain industry leading nearly a decade on, Ambition 2025 takes the
Five-Fold forward with new commitments to take into account the ever changing
sustainability agenda and the complexity of issues that are increasingly
demanding
a whole-chain approach.
