Study ranks Greenvale AP first in sustainable food production

Greenvale AP, the leading supplier of British potatoes, has come top in sustainability of food production, according to the latest results of a two-year research project just published by the Cambridge University Institute for Manufacturing.

The Competitive and Sustainable Food Manufacturing (CSFM) Project assessed five different areas of the UK food industry – Strategy, Corporate Social Responsibility, Process Control, Lean Manufacturing and Sustainability.

Greenvale was one of twelve key UK food businesses selected, including companies in food production (growers), wholesalers, food processing and supermarkets, benchmarking each company against its sector and industry average.

And the results were remarkable, ranking Greenvale as by far the highest scoring company in the research programme.The researchers found its performance to be way above all sector and industry averages, always better than 'very good'.
