Noble foods who were kind enough to not only host the visitors but also took the time out to show the visitors around the site and present on what site has achieved in regards to environmental improvements.

Over the last few months the site has been working on achieving the highest status on the M&S Plan A framework, although the site already had much of the M&S Plan A objectives in place they have also adapted the sites environmental targets and policies to encompass all of the retailers Plan A ambitions.

The Noble Foods host highlighted to the visitors from other food and drink businesses what the site has being doing to reduce their wastes, optimise their resource use, reduce their energy use and their plans to not only preserve the biodiversity on the site but also enhance it.

The site really has gone beyond the expected standard to being exemplary in terms of what they are doing to reduce the baseline costs of the business while in conjunction reducing their environmental impacts.
?
Underpinning all of these achievements is the engagement of the staff at the site, through their Green Team but also through the enthusiasm of the site Green Champion who is also the Quality Manager who oversees environmental initiatives.
