It’s why we’re trusted by all of our customers…
By introducing route harmonisation software across our logistics network, we’ve successfully eliminated over 300,000 unnecessary food miles - that’s the equivalent of circling the globe ten times. Fewer miles mean fresher deliveries and a lighter footprint.
As part of our ongoing fleet upgrade all our vehicles now meet the EURO 6 standard, all our small fleet vehicles are fitted with transport management system, “Lightfoot”. This system provides drivers with in-cab audio driver coaching. Lightfoot helps us reduce spend on fuel, maintenance fees and keeps downtime to a minimum – helping keep us on the road and being more environmentally conscious. We’ve also introduced two fully electric vehicles operating in London, supporting our continued efforts to reduce emissions in urban areas and drive forward our sustainability journey.
Sustainability sits at the heart of how we operate at Fairfax Meadow. Guided by Hilton Foods’ People, Planet, Product framework, we’re focused on delivering meaningful change across our business and beyond — from supporting our teams to reducing environmental impact and ensuring the integrity of the products we supply.
We’re proud to contribute to several important milestones on this journey:
Valuing our People: In support of Hilton’s global wellbeing framework, we’ve introduced free sanitary products in all female bathrooms to promote dignity and inclusivity in the workplace.
Diversity in Leadership: We’ve exceeded our 2025 target of 30% of leadership roles being held by women — currently achieving 36%.
Protecting Human Rights: Governance around human rights has been strengthened, with integration into key risk processes now in place.
Reducing Emissions: Progress remains on track to meet our validated Science-Based Targets (SBTi), aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
Animal Wellbeing: We continue to work with farm assurance schemes, supporting our target for over 90% of livestock to come from assured farms.
Nature Positive: We’ve achieved our goal of sourcing 100% of paper and board from certified sustainable sources.
Circular Packaging: We're actively building waste reduction initiatives across all sites, with packaging waste reduction on track to meet our 2025 target of a 30% decrease (vs. 2020 baseline).
Recycled Materials: We’ve already surpassed our target of 50% recycled content in plastic packaging, achieving 64% across our portfolio.
