Food

Estimates predict that the world’s population will increase to 9.8 billion by 2050. To meet the required food demand, food productivity would have to increase by over 65%, increasing the amount of greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%. It is up to business to increase the amount of food, but keep environmental impact as low as possible. Sustainable food production, packaging and transport are a must for building a sustainable future.

We have worked with organizations to:

  • Quantify the environmental impact and human rights risks associated with the food they produce or buy from a life cycle perspective
  • Develop responsible sourcing strategies to reduce their environmental footprint whilst ensuring human rights are respected throughout the supply chains
  • Develop engagement programmes with staff and customers on the impact of food and what they can do to reduce their impact
  • Review and improve catering and food operations - reducing waste, improving re purposing and introducing sustainable sourcing

I was impressed with the thoroughness and level of detail that our data set was analysed in. Presenting an extensive data set in an easy to use format was of great value in communicating the outcome of the work internally, and prioritising areas of the supply chain for future action.

Alan Sweeting, Global Health, Safety and Environment Senior Manager, Allen & Overy LLP

Avieco supported us in collating and organising data to develop a robust risk assessment process. They have been easy to work with, responsive to our requirements and pragmatic in their solutions.

Gijs Voskuilen, Head of Corporate Responsibility, Bunzl

Avieco has been the preferred environmental consultant since the beginning of our journey to become a sustainable company. Dentsu Aegis has worked with Avieco’s experts on various areas, such as carbon footprint reporting and assurance support, and recently also advised us how to switch our global network to renewable electricity. The team’s expertise on environmental sustainability is impressive, and the work delivered is always of highest standard.

Lars Holm, Global Senior Manager CSR, Dentsu Aegis Network

Avieco informatively led us through the processes needed to reduce our carbon footprint. With their clear and concise advice we have been able to effectively reduce our energy and waste levels. Avieco made the complex notion of energy efficiency into a manageable and achievable reality

Nigel Pink, Group Engineering Manager, Dominos UK & Ireland Ltd

Avieco delivered exactly the workshop we needed to get our sustainability team and regional leads on the same page when it comes to ‘market-based’ reporting. It’s a challenging area to tackle for a global business – particularly when we operate in a number of markets where there is little or no choice in terms of energy purchasing. Avieco has given us the knowledge and tools to ensure we get our disclosures right – they really exceeded my expectations for what we could achieve in one afternoon!
