We want to continue making a positive difference to the people and the world around us. This means ensuring our sustainable business practices, which we call Healthier People, Healthier Planet, are embedded in every element of our business strategy. This is fundamental to Britvic’s resilience, to delivering and building a company of which we can all be proud. Whether that’s through the healthier choices we offer our consumers, the meaningful contributions to the community in which we operate or ensuring our employees are mentally and physically empowered to be their best selves and deliver great performance.
We want to make sure our packaging never becomes waste, building a waste-free supply chain and are taking action on climate change by cutting our carbon footprint.
Throughout the lifecycle of our products, we carefully assess and choose who we partner with – working together to increase awareness and performance sustainability. From ethical buying to sustainable local suppliers, we’re working hard to increase the recycled content of our packaging and reduce the amount of packaging we use.
This includes leveraging our unique expertise and leadership in dispense technology and flavoured concentrates to create breakthrough sustainable and innovative soft drinks solutions for consumers in and out of home.
Our commitment to sustainability and our endeavours to become carbon neutral are also built into where we work.
The Hub in our Hemel Hempstead office is created using recycled materials, it is the beating heart of our HQ, where we display our love for the planet as we gather together to hear about big brand news and campaign launches. It’s where we go for coffee-catchups or lunch at the Moments café, for after work drinks and impromptu and informal meets at the bar.
Or our Newcastle West factory boasts excellent sustainability credentials, with 94% of energy being renewable, zero waste to landfill and 40 acres of protected land. On top of these existing successes, we have more planned to reduce our impact on the planet. And we won’t stop there.
Doing good while doing well has always been our ethos, since the creation of The Britvic Vitamin company back in the 19th century and it will continue to be our top priority.
