Elisabeth Ortiz, ESG lead at BM Caterers, said: “We are delighted to have secured yet another accreditation for our ESG initiatives. As a business that doesn’t sit still, we are constantly looking to improve policies, KPIs and reporting as necessary. It’s important that we all understand that we are on a constant journey to improve, change and adapt.”

BM also runs regular ‘spotlight on sustainability’ roadshows at client sites to share what BM is doing to reduce its environmental impact with customers and engage teams.
