Houston & Hawkes has received the King's Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development. The contract catering firm is the first B Corp certified provider in its UK sector, focusing on reducing the carbon footprint of corporate food services. The company has achieved net zero emissions for Scope 1 and 2 and set a science-based target to reach full net zero by 2040. Their approach includes carbon labelling for menus, plant-forward food design, and AI tools to cut food waste.

Net zero for Scope 1 and 2 is a start, but the real battle in catering is Scope 3. I want to see the actual data on the carbon impact of their supply chain, especially if they are pushing plant-forward menus to hit those numbers.

Exactly. SBTi alignment is good for accountability, but the gap between a B Corp certification and actual emissions reductions can be wide. The carbon labelling is a decent nudge for consumers, though.

Interesting to see a catering firm getting a royal award for sustainability. Most of these stories are just fluff, but the 2040 net zero target is specific enough to track.

AI powered food waste tools sound like a buzzword. Does this actually change procurement volumes or just track what is being thrown away after the fact?
