Bidfresh, a specialist fresh produce supplier, has released its latest sustainability report, showcasing the significant progress made in 2024 and outlining its ambitions for a more sustainable future.

With 70% of consumers saying that sustainability is an important factor when deciding which out-of-home venue to visit[1], selecting suppliers and ingredients that prioritise sustainable practices will be key for operators, especially for local and fresh food.

Titled, ‘Growing Greener’, Bidfresh’s new sustainability report delves into what Campbell Brothers, Direct Seafoods and R. Noone & Son, their meat, fish and produce divisions, have achieved as a responsible fresh ingredient supplier.

Externally verified and assured by independent development and testing company, Lucideon, the report also maps out each of the businesses’ accreditations, credentials and the support available for customers.

The new report also showcases the positive impact Bidfresh and its brands have had on its employees, local communities and customers, from training and charity work, to improving and maintaining health and wellbeing.

Valeria Potsinok, Sustainability Manager for Bidfresh said: “This report marks an important milestone for Bidfresh and I am delighted that we have taken the first step in our journey towards a more sustainable future.

“We recognise that achieving meaningful impact takes time, effort and collaboration and we are fully committed to growing and evolving in this space.

“While ‘Growing Greener’ reflects our early efforts, it also reveals our dedication to transparency, accountability and progress to produce high-quality food, work together with our suppliers and keep responsible sourcing in mind. We will continue to build on this foundation and are extremely excited for what the future holds for us as a business.”
