Moy Park is delighted to be awarded the top ‘Platinum’ level status again for the 10th consecutive year in the Environmental Benchmarking Survey organised by Business in the Community Northern Ireland.
The Survey is an annual event that scores organisations on the measures they take to improve their environmental impacts. The Survey assesses top businesses in Northern Ireland for their environmental management, performance and assurance and had over 120 participants this year.
Moy Park's unwavering participation in the Survey over a 25-year journey underscores our dedication to advancing our environmental initiatives. Highlights over the past year include the establishment of biodiversity teams at our sites who collaborate closely with local groups, schools and environmental organisations to help maintain a more diverse ecosystem and help offset carbon emissions. We have planted over 60,000 trees across our farms in the last 15 years and we are also active members of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan, where we come together with partners to help pollinators thrive.
We are delighted to once again achieve the prestigious Platinum level, which is testament to the ongoing commitment of the teams throughout the business.
At an event to release the Survey results, Dr Lisa McIlvenna, Deputy Managing Director of Business in the Community, emphasized the significance of the Survey as a valuable benchmarking tool. She stressed its important role over the last 25 years in bringing attention to critical environmental issues that organisations in Northern Ireland must consider and act on.
Dr McIlvenna also stated, "In an era where stakeholders, suppliers, buyers, and the public at large are actively seeking assurance of businesses' dedication to environmental wellbeing, participation in the Survey serves as tangible evidence of their commitment to a more sustainable future."
