Abstract
apetito, the UK based food producer for the health & social care sector, has announced its commitment that 100% of its employees will be earning the Living Wage, or higher, from early 2016.
Paul Freeston, chief executive, said: "Our mission at apetito is to make a real difference and that means embedding principles that support our customers, our supply chain, and crucially, our work-force.
"Supporting the Living Wage is quite simply the right thing to do; it improves our employees' quality of life, but also benefits our business and society as a whole.
“Indeed, our profit-share scheme, which all staff participate in, means that we are effectively paying staff a wage over and above the Living Wage right now, a fact of which I am very proud."
apetito is also working towards obtaining accreditation from The Living Wage Foundation, which recognises and celebrates the leadership shown by Living Wage Employers across the UK.
