Committed to Sustainability

Sustainability is central to our purpose at KTC to champion ‘good’ food and is embedded in our supply chain principles and innovation led culture.

Alongside our suppliers, partners and customers our aim is to make a significant impact environmentally, economically and socially, from better sourcing to improving livelihoods. We are committed to doing the best for people and the planet.

Sustainability Highlights

We have prioritised the business on three key impact areas: environmental, economic and social. There is still plenty to do, however, here is a flavour of our progress &
achievements so far.
