ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIAL GOVERNANCE (ESG) IS A VITAL PART OF OUR BUSINESS. 

Our supply chains and operations are global and therefore we believe in collaboration with stakeholders to make lasting improvements on environmental and social issues.

Environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) is fundamental to our business, never seen as a project or undertaken for the sake of compliance, but because we know it’s the right thing to do.

Our Group vision of ‘Proudly offering great tasting choices for everyone without costing the earth’ not only reflects the business we aspire to be, but the existing passion and commitment of our colleagues, demonstrated daily, to becoming a truly sustainable business.

We regularly engage with colleagues, suppliers, customers, Non-Governmental Organisations, policymakers and many others to build relationships, collaborate and  learn from each other, expand our scope and strive for improvement .

Our efforts are focused on three pillars:

  • PEOPLE
  • PLANET
  • PRODUCTS

Under each of the pillars above we focus on 7 main areas:

  • PEOPLE – People Excellence and Human Rights
  • PLANET – Climate Change (scopes 1&2), Value Chains (carbon and raw materials) and Food Waste
  • PRODUCTS – Circular Economy and Healthy Diets.

These work-streams also encompass Ethical Trading, Packaging and Energy working groups.

We regularly engage with our colleagues encouraging them to make make a difference whatever their role.

Princes Supply Chain Map

As part of our commitment to supply chain transparency we are pleased to publish details of our Tier 1 (direct) suppliers for packaging and ingredients, as well as finished goods. We also continue to champion gender equality and mapping vulnerable workers within our supply chain, so are delighted to share data on gender and temporary/agency workers. This is in addition to visibility of where an active trade union and/or worker committee exists. 

SDGs

In 2015 the United Nations approved 17 objectives, broken down into 169 targets, to be reached by 2030 – the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Attaining these goals is not the responsibility of one organisation but a shared global challenge for government, private sector, civil society and consumers.

There are eight specific goals that are particularly pertinent to our business activities and sphere of influence, where we can make a real contribution. However every goal is of relevance to Princes and we continually assess how we can contribute.

PLANET

We remain constantly conscious of our impact on the world.

PEOPLE

Princes recognises the exceptional value our colleagues bring to our business.

PRODUCTS

We are committed to consumers’ health and wellbeing at all stages of the product lifecycle.
