Delivering Sustainability
We're committed to reducing our environmental impact across every part of our business. This includes cutting greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy and water efficiency, reducing waste, and supporting sustainable farming practices.
Delivering our Loaves the Sustainable Way
At Hovis® we recognise our responsibility to operate a logistics road fleet that has minimal emissions impact on the environment and a continual commitment to improving road safety and driver performance.
We have removed 1.3m miles from our operation in order to reduce emissions.
Since introducing a new 7.2t convenience vehicle to our fleet in 2019, in 2020 a total of 50 were in operation, covering 2.5m miles nationally into urban and inner-city areas, saving approximately 35,000 gallons of fuel vs conventional 7.5t and 12t vehicles which they have replaced.
We have recently signed a carbon offsetting agreement to support the Ghanaian cookstove project. This will offset the whole of the logistics carbon footprint, whilst supporting the development in lifestyle for Ghanaian families.
Recognised in 2020 by Microlise and awarded the prestigious “driver excellence” award.

Hovis has joined the BRC Mondra Coalition, a cross-industry partnership focused on driving measurable environmental improvement across the food and beverage sector.
Through the Coalition, Hovis will collaborate with leading retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers to measure, model, and reduce product-level environmental impacts using a shared Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology developed by Mondra.
This partnership supports Hovis' commitment to transparency, continuous improvement, and achieving Net Zero by improving visibility across the full supply chain and enabling data-driven decisions that reduce emissions and resource use.
