In 2024, Foyle Food Group increased its recycling rate to 55.4%, surpassing its milestone by 5.4% and demonstrating strong progress in waste management and staff engagement.
In 2024, Foyle Food Group made significant strides in waste management, surpassing its milestone target by 5.4%. A key driver of this success was the company’s focus on employee engagement and consistent implementation of waste prevention practices across all sites. Staff were actively involved in identifying opportunities to reduce waste at source, contributing ideas and feedback that helped shape more efficient processes.
To further enhance recycling outcomes, Foyle Food Group conducted a comprehensive site assessment in collaboration with its waste providers. This initiative ensured that best practices were being followed and that recycling systems were optimised for both efficiency and effectiveness. The assessment also helped identify areas for improvement and informed future waste management planning.
Waste segregation remained a priority throughout 2024, with the company maintaining high standards in seperating recyable materials. The general manager played a central role in leading behaviourable change, fostering positive attitudes towards waste minimisation and encouraging practical action at every level of the business. This leadership helped reinforce the importance of sustainability and ensured consistent messaging across teams.
