Commenting on the launch of the Sustainability Report 2020, Mr. Vikas Mittal, Managing Director, India, South East Asia, South Korea, Taiwan at McCain Foods said, “Our commitment to sustainability is enshrined in our purpose which is ‘Celebrating real connections through delicious, planet-friendly food’. We believe that building a resilient future and preservation of the planet is our collective responsibility. Sustainability is at the heart of our business and it has guided us towards adapting our operations to deliver delicious food in a sustainable and responsible manner. Our 2020 Sustainability Report (Global & India) is aimed at transparently highlighting the interventions and impact created so far across our sustainability priorities. Our humble yet consistent efforts are in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and we will continue to make concerted efforts towards building a more resilient future for generations to come.”
As the challenges posed by climate change become more acute, the global food system needs to transform significantly. It needs to do so to feed a growing population while reducing its impact on nature. Over the years, McCain food has been successfully driving new models of sustainable farming across the globe while reducing environmental footprints. Even in India, the key goal is to reduce the impact on the land through four pillars:
