Green Gain has helped UK’s leading manufacturer of high quality deli-fillings, Fresh-pak Chilled Foods, to secure a top Asda sustainability award

Fresh-pak scooped the prestigious award for ‘Internal Engagement’ at the recent Asda Sustain and Save Exchange Summit in Leeds. This award recognises and rewards suppliers who take pride in their environment and who engage employees on sustainability initiatives. As overall winner, amidst tough competition from industry heavyweights, Fresh-pak was presented with its award by Chris Brown, Sustainable Business Director at Asda.

Throughout 2015, Fresh-pak has been supported by Green Gain to undertake a full baseline audit of energy, waste and water, and to work with the site team to help develop and implement an environmental strategy to address these impacts. This has enabled Fresh-pak to reduce its costs, improve its efficiencies, comply with the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), and make its primary operations more sustainable. This support has now helped Fresh-pak to gain recognition from one of its key customers.

“We are absolutely delighted to win this award. I know that the Fresh-pak team care passionately about the environment and it’s fantastic to see such enthusiasm and drive rewarded with this customer recognition and prestigious award”, said Keith Foreman, Managing Director, Freshpak.

“As energy, waste and commodity prices continue to rise, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue. The work we are doing with Green Gain to address these issues is not only gaining us recognition with our customer; it is helping to secure our long-term future”.
