UK biscuit and snack maker United Biscuits said yesterday it will cut its carbon emissions by more than a third by 2020 and reduce water and packaging use by a fifth as part of a new strategy to reduce the impact of its operations on the environment.
The announcement comes as pressure grows on the food and beverage industry to make their operations more sustainable. UB, Britain's largest snack maker, said it has been making changes over several years but has now set ambitious targets.
