Certification story

Aubrey Allen, the first national catering butcher to offer a boutique butchery service and winner of more awards than any other butchery company, has achieved Planet Mark certification.  

Achieving the Planet Mark is based on the commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability in its business operations by measuring and reducing its carbon footprint and engaging its stakeholders. 

The company will continue to work towards reducing its carbon emissions and sharing its journey with its community to inspire others. By being more strategic about its environmental responsibility, the company will be able to significantly increase its positive impact and hope to encourage continual improvements within its community.

“Aubrey Allen are committed to reducing our carbon emissions year on year, we feel it is our responsibility not only as a business but for our industry as a whole to show environmental commitment now and for the future. We look at all aspects of our business and how we can make constant improvements ensuring sustainable change occurs. We already have in place many systems and new projects to ensure we always have environmental wellbeing at the forefront of our work. Improving our sustainability is not just a sole business goal, we aim to be industry leaders to ensure we are setting high standards for all companies to follow.”

Aubrey Allen has embedded sustainable practice into its business beyond Planet Mark certification. The company is protecting an area of endangered rainforest in Peru through a collaboration with Cool Earth, a conservation strategy. Aubrey Allen is also committed to working with its supply chain and the wider industry to help spread awareness of best sustainable practices.  

The food industry must make dramatic changes to reach national and global climate goals. From emissions in operations to waste in packaging, the whole supply chain must be analysed with an environmental lens. The food and beverage industry is an area where customers have become increasingly aware of their impact on the planet, so companies that act decisively stand to gain business from good, sustainable practice.  

Future targets

Reduce carbon emissions by at least 2.5% each year

To recertify next year Aubrey Allen must reduce emissions by 2.5%.

Aim to reduce carbon emissions by 5% each year

A 5% year-on-year reduction is the target reduction recommended by Planet Mark.
