Our Sustainability Story
For people and the planet
At Myton Food Group we are committed to operating responsibly both within our sites and across our supply chains. We want to do all we can to ensure we have a positive social and environmental impact, protecting resources for future generations.
We want the colleagues we work with and the customers we serve to feel good about the food we produce at Myton Food Group. That’s why we’re working hard on the key building blocks for a more sustainable future for people and the planet.
Our net zero ambition and how we plan to achieve it
UK agriculture currently accounts for 10% of all UK greenhouse gas emissions which is why we have set an ambition to become Net Zero within the British farms we buy directly from by 2030.
What do we mean by Net Zero?
Net Zero means that the emissions from farming activities and inputs are equal to the emissions removals from the atmosphere. We will be working closely with our farmers that supply our beef, lamb, pork, eggs, potatoes and soft fruit directly to us, to help them achieve this Net Zero position collectively by 2030.
Measuring current emissions
We have teamed up with industry leading company Map of Ag and developed a tried and tested measurement system which calculates farm emissions.
'Seeing is believing' Blueprint Farms
We are working closely with farmers so we can demonstrate how sustainable farming and Net Zero can be achieved.
Helping create the change we need
Project farming groups
We have set up several project farming groups to engage with our farmers and understand what needs to be in place for us all to best succeed.
Incentivising for the future
We are in a unique position to help drive our goal of Net Zero within the farms that supply us and provide farmers with incentives to help us achieve that. We will do this by rewarding and promoting Net Zero activities to encourage our farmers to achieve our goals and make sure there is something in it for them.
