Overview
Greencore is a leading producer of convenience foods, operating a number of cutting-edge food manufacturing and distribution facilities across the UK. The company has identified its material environment social and governance impacts and manages them through its sustainability plan and integrated SHE Management system iSHEMS.
How we supported Greencore
Our team of consultants worked with Greencore’s manufacturing sites across the country to establish a baseline of environmental legal compliance at a site and Group level. Current business activities and facilities were reviewed and a bespoke environment legal register containing all relevant legislation developed for each facility using Legislation Update Service (LUS).
Outcome
A thorough evaluation of compliance (audit) against all the relevant legislation contained within the legal register was conducted at each facility, assessing activities, documents and records for compliance. Actions were then set to improve and exceed Greencore’s environmental compliance and performance, furthering the aims of the materiality assessment and supporting one of the Company’s core stated policy aims – to reduce its impact on the planet.
We’ve received lots of good feedback across the business about the auditors and audits undertaken by the Compliance People team. They took on board our requirements and worked with us to find a solution which worked for all parties. The registers provided by the Legal Update Service (LUS) are a great way to both keep up to date and prove compliance and alongside the audits are proving an invaluable tool for Greencore.
