Doing the right thing. And proving it.
For us, responsible business means action you can measure. From reducing our environmental impact to supporting people and communities and upholding ethical standards, we’re committed to making positive change across our business and beyond.
Responsibility built into our business.
Our approach to Environment, Social and Governance helps turn our commitments into action. It gives us clear priorities, holds us accountable and, importantly, lets us measure our progress.
In 2024, our work was recognised with the King’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development. But we know there’s always more to do. That’s why we continue to set ambitious targets, measure our progress and look for new ways to make a real difference.

Reducing our impact on the environment.
From the ingredients we source and recipes we develop to our packaging, energy and delivery fleet, we’re taking measurable action to reduce our environmental impact. We have set near and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), as part of our journey towards Net Zero by 2040.

Supporting people and communities.
We believe making a difference goes beyond the meals we make. Through long-standing charity partnerships, volunteering, community initiatives and our Staff Foundation, our people help support causes and communities across the UK.
Doing business the right way.
From fair pay and workers’ rights to responsible supply chains and ethical business practices, we hold ourselves to high standards and take responsibility for how we do business.
Progress you can measure.

Lee Sheppard
Director of Corporate Affairs, Policy & Sustainability
“At apetito, ethics and sustainability is about making sure we run our business responsibly, not just for today, but for the long term. We want to make a real difference for the people we serve, the communities we are part of and the environment we all depend on. We’ve made good progress, but we know there is much more to do. From working towards our science-based Net Zero targets and reducing the impact of our ingredients, recipes, packaging and operations, to supporting our people, communities and responsible business practices, ethics and sustainability increasingly shape the decisions we make. For us, this isn’t simply about meeting expectations. It’s about taking meaningful action, being transparent about our progress and continuing to challenge ourselves to do better.”
