Plant-based foods
Average read time: 2 minutes
Delicious plant-based foods are better for the health of people and the planet. We’ve put them at the heart of our strategy.
The benefits of plant-based foods
The EAT-Lancet Commission demonstrates that if people eat more plant-based foods, emissions could be cut by up to 80%. Eating meat and dairy alternatives and vegetables, regardless of their colour, really is a ‘green’, or environmentally friendly, thing to do. But plant-based diets are not only better for the planet, they’re also good for human health.
We’re convinced of the health benefits of adding more plant-based foods to our diets. We’ve been using our expertise and product knowledge for several years to increase consumer choice, by introducing more plant-based options and increasing sales of a diverse range of protein sources. And we’ve embedded plant-based thinking into our Future Foods commitments.
