FDF's Ambition 2025: Mid-term report

Over the past decade, environmental targets to achieve a sustainable food supply chain have always been important and activity around these targets has increased dramatically to a point today where it is at an all-time high.

A competitive and sustainable UK food and drink manufacturing sector has the potential to make a real contribution to future food security and sustainable growth. We are particularly proud to see that our members’ work against the original Ambition 2025 targets, set out in 2016, has led to great progress including the fact that we have achieved our CO² emissions target five years early.

As part of the FDF’s Ambition 2025, we committed to undertaking a mid-term review of Ambition 2025 in 2020 to ensure that the targets set reflected an array of considerations including Government priorities, policy changes and consumer behaviour changes.

This report highlights our continued commitment to making a real contribution with sustainability and environmental initiatives, showcasing our new commitments to continue to build on our achievements to ensure our overall ambition of a more sustainable food and drink industry.
