Our Sustainability Strategy

With the many - and somewhat daunting - social, environmental, and economic challenges we face locally and globally we knew it was time to formalise a strategy to ensure we are part of the solutions of building a truly sustainable future.

To do this, we engaged Go Well Consulting to help us identify our impacts and our corresponding levels of control and influence over those, and then formulate our strategy to guide us towards being a circular business with a regenerative impact on the environment and our communities. In simple terms this means we want to ensure we are not sending any materials to a landfill, we power our entire business operations by renewable energy, we leave every place we operate in better than we found it, and we share the prosperity of our success.

“We have always strived to do our best by our people, our industry and the wider community”

The size of these goals are not lost on us but we believe this is what’s required of businesses in the 21st century. With over 5 million interactions with our customers annually we have a great opportunity to take people on our Sustainability journey.

Cater Plus is proud to have defined our headline goals, why they are important to us, the challenges we face, and the targets we have set for ourselves over the next 3 years. We review this strategy quarterly and annually to ensure we make progress with our goals and they remain updated and ambitious.

"We want to ensure we are part of the solutions of building a truly sustainable future by being a circular business with a regenerative impact on the environment and our communities"

Using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a global benchmark for sustainable business practices we have selected 8 goals (displayed below) we feel we can have the biggest impact on, while also ensuring we are not negatively contributing to any others.
