Our Impact

At The Compleat Food Group, we’re proud to share how we’re working towards our vision of Shaping the future of food for the better.

The food industry plays a crucial role in feeding the nation, supporting jobs and strengthening communities. Our success depends on healthy people and a thriving natural environment, from the land and water that sustain our ingredients to the climate that shapes our growing seasons. That’s why our ESG strategy sits at the heart of our business, guiding how we nurture people and planet while delivering long-term growth.

Global political tensions, economic uncertainty and climate impacts are putting huge strain on supply chains, community wellbeing and business resilience. There are no quick fixes, but by embedding ESG into every decision we make, we’re building a stronger business that will also reach net zero and scale our social value tenfold by 2035.

I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made in 2024/25, particularly as we continue to expand with new, exciting products. We’ve found new, innovative solutions for food waste while maintaining and enhancing quality. We’ve taken a bold new approach to our logistics which saves carbon while improving our customer experience. We’ve launched an extensive new partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support, and our fantastic Compleat Nature teams continue to drive positive changes that boost the wellbeing of our colleagues as well as preserve our natural environment.

One of the most exciting developments is our continued product life cycle analysis (LCA) work, which is bringing new insight to help reformulate products so that we continue to protect quality while reducing impacts on nature, climate and health. This has supported our work around nutrient profiling models (NPMs), which has enabled us to create a formal nutritional positioning statement and introduce impact metrics on this important subject for the first time.

In line with our continued growth, we’ve rebaselined our science-based targets (SBTs) to ensure we remain on track to meet our net zero commitments. We’ve worked hard to expand the data points that we report on and we’re committed to being transparent about areas which have proven to be challenging.

We’re resolute that transparency builds trust and trust accelerates action. By working with colleagues, customers, suppliers and industry, we’re building a strong and resilient company that delivers sustainability hand-in-hand with financial growth. I’m proud that our purpose, making Food to Feel Good, continues to act as our guiding principle as we work towards a future-fit food system for everyone.
