Sustainability initiatives
Sustainability is at the heart of our operations. Local sourcing, seasonal produce, ethical supply chains and food-waste reduction make our food system low-impact and earth-friendly. We’re aiming to be carbon neutral by 2025 and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2045. Our short and long-term targets are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative(SBTi). From incorporating wonky veggies, free-range eggs, Red Tractor-certified meat and MSC-certified fish in our school meals, we’ve built partnerships based on shared environmental and social values.

Allergen management
We prioritize allergen management, taking a stringent approach to ensure that all students can safely enjoy their food. Special dietary menus with allergen-free options are available for pre-ordering on the School Food United platform. All allergen-free and special diet meals are prepared, stored, and labeled separately. Additionally, we also use separate utensils when serving these meals.
Our customisable menus accommodate various medical and alternative dietary needs, offering vegetarian/vegan options and participating in Meat-free Mondays in Liverpool schools. Our school catering services are tailored to each school’s unique requirements, ensuring nutritious and inclusive meals are served safely to all students.
