With over 400 brands and more than 32,000 products in its portfolio, Lockhart has taken responsibility to ensure both its footprint and that of its suppliers are sustainable and continually improving. Some of the company’s targets include:
- To be 25% more carbon efficient by 2025
- To be 50% more carbon efficient by 2030
- To utilise 100% renewable energy procurement across the Bunzl Group by 2030
- To ensure that 79% of suppliers have their own science-based emissions targets by 2027
Simon Britten, head of marketing at Lockhart Catering Equipment, said: “Everyone understands the importance of sustainability and it’s even more essential in a business as large as Lockhart Catering Equipment. We are in the fortunate position where we can influence our partners and suppliers to make real, quantifiable changes that will have a domino-effect that benefits the whole supply chain and the entire industry.”
The ‘Sustainable Future’ newsletter aims to inform readers of key environmental topics and contribute to the sustainability conversation gaining momentum and visibility in the foodservice industry. Lockhart’s newly created position of sustainability lead Phoebe Collins will take responsibility for this project, alongside the transparent tracking and reporting of Lockhart’s progress.
