The UK’s leading supplier of potatoes has become the first food producer in the country to receive the Carbon Trust Standard.
Branston Ltd., which supplies over 400,000 tonnes of fresh potatoes every year, was awarded the accolade in recognition of its success in reducing its carbon emissions by 6% over the last three years.
The company, which has a turnover in excess of £100m and employs over 500 people at three sites, is one of just 26 organisations in the United Kingdom that is currently certified by the Carbon Trust Standard Company.
