'As a large food and farming enterprise supplying nearly all of the UK's major food retailers we have been aware of the increasing focus on the social and environmental issues surrounding food and its production by our customers and their customers - the British public.  Although most food retailers now report on their social and environmental strategies and performance, by their own admission most of the impacts associated with the food they sell result from the activities of their supply chains.  To genuinely make a difference - be it to climate change, labour standards or rural poverty - they must engage their suppliers and beyond them, the farmers and growers, in the process. Produce World has responded to these new market factors by developing comprehensive social and environmental policies, setting challenging targets for improved performance, collating and reporting hard data and openly communicating them all to our stakeholders.  This report outlines what we have achieved so far and more importantly, what we are committed to achieving in the future'
