Sustainability
Our ESG commitment guides how we manufacture, source, and innovate — ensuring that M&S Food operates responsibly, ethically, and sustainably for long-term impact.
Community
Support
Community & Humanitarian Support
Standing with communities in times of need
M&S Food actively supports charitable organisations, places of worship, and community groups through food aid and essential supplies. During times of crisis, including natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic, we contributed through meal donations, relief efforts, and employee welfare initiatives such as vaccination support.
Our community initiatives include:
Food aid for charitable organisations and places of worship
Support for disaster relief and humanitarian efforts
COVID-19 initiatives, including meal donations and employee vaccinations
Environmental Responsibility
Solar Energy Adoption
Reducing carbon emissions through renewable energy
Solar panels have been installed across our facilities since 2018 as part of our transition towards cleaner energy sources. By reducing our reliance on non-renewable energy, these installations have helped cut carbon emissions by over 200 tons annually. Additional solar capacity was added in 2019, reinforcing our long-term commitment to environmental responsibility.
Key impact:
Solar panels installed since 2018
Reduced dependence on non-renewable energy
Over 200+ tons of CO₂ emissions reduced annually
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
Protecting ecosystems through responsible water management
Our Wastewater Treatment Plant was established to ensure all water discharged from our facility meets local regulatory standards and does not harm surrounding ecosystems. The system uses a two-stage purification process — Physical Chemical Processing followed by Biological Treatment — to neutralise pollutants and remove harmful compounds before release.
This initiative reflects our duty of care towards future generations and aligns with our core value of respecting nature.
Key impact:
Two-stage purification: Physical Chemical & Biological
Treated water fully compliant with regulatory requirements
Protection of rivers, ecosystems, and surrounding communities
FSC-Certified Packaging
Supporting sustainable forestry and responsible sourcing
M&S Food has transitioned to FSC Mix–certified packaging, sourced from responsibly managed forests and recycled materials. While FSC-certified paper increases material costs, we believe it is a necessary investment to support sustainable forestry and reduce environmental impact across our supply chain.
By choosing FSC-certified materials, we contribute to the protection of global forest resources and encourage responsible consumption practices.
Key impact:
FSC Mix–certified paper from sustainable sources
Supports responsible forest management
Adopted despite higher costs to minimise environmental impact
A Commitment That Goes Beyond Compliance
Our ESG efforts are not driven by compliance alone, but by a belief that responsible business practices create long-term value — for consumers, partners, employees, and the environment. As we continue to grow, M&S Food remains committed to operating with integrity, accountability, and respect for people and planet.
