Noting that the food industry accounts from some 20% of global emissions, LQRA is urging food manufacturers - as well as the wider supply chain - to reframe their approach to decarbonisation, embedding energy efficiency and sustainable practices at the heart of organisational culture. Mark Morales, head of food and beverage sector at LRQA said: "While the scale of the challenge may be daunting, progress is both possible and imperative." He argues that if employees at every level feel empowered to propose improvements, challenge outdated practices and trial new solutions, the food sector can move beyond incremental gains to deliver truly systemic impact.
