Potato supplier Greenvale had already put a number of notable environmental feathers in its cap with its Green15 initiative, but this month the company went further by announcing a series of new targets for 2020.
Under the tagline Green20, these include reducing water use by 35 per cent across the group, a 30 per cent reduction in carbon output, making all sites zero to landfill and producing 35 per cent of its electricity via renewable means. Green15’s achievements included a 30 per cent reduction in carbon, 50 per cent reduction in water and 90 per cent of waste diverted from landfill.
It also hosted an environmental open day, inviting other food businesses to visit and learn about the green work it's put into place.
