Intersnack achieves EcoVadis

Gold rating

We’re in the business of good snacks; that means developing products that taste great.

It also means making them with sustainability in mind.

Green field

Our aim is to create positive impact, one snack at a time – using our influence to help build an ethical, sustainable food system that supports better futures for everyone involved.

We know this is only achievable through determination and collaboration. That’s why we’re on a journey with our teams and business partners to create snacks people love and trust.

We’re working to ensure every action we take is better than the last, benefiting customers, consumers, employees and people throughout our supply chains.

For every crop grown with less water, every packet made with less plastic, every employee empowered to realise their full potential and every artificial flavour swapped for the real deal, we get that bit closer to being the business we want to be, snack by snack.

Innovation

For great taste and better choice

Consumers now demand more products to fit a health-conscious, sustainable lifestyle. We are using our expertise to reformulate and improve everything we do, making appealing, sustainably produced snacks with enhanced nutrition profiles. 

We’re reformulating our recipes with a focus on clean, natural ingredients that deliver the flavours consumers love, whilst reducing saturated fat and salt. It’s what we call Mindful Indulgence.

Packaging

Contributing to a circular economy

At Intersnack, we need packaging that keeps our products fresh and safe – but not at the planet’s expense. That’s why, we have set ourselves a Packaging Pledge, which targets Intersnack to cut packaging use by 15% and achieve 100% plastic packaging recyclability by 2025.

These are bold targets and we’re proud to be able to say that we already achieved an 11% reduction in the packaging materials we use by the end of 2022. 

Now we’re taking our next steps to further decrease material use whilst partnering to improve national recycling infrastructure on a continuous journey towards circularity.

Macadamia

Supporting smallholder farmers in Malawi

“Besides the macadamia seedlings, through this project I received valuable knowledge on the best way to grow macadamias.”

As part of our commitment to sustainable sourcing, Intersnack engages in field projects to create more transparent and sustainable value chains.

in our operations

For Intersnack, leading isn’t a top-down approach; it’s about empowering our people to do their best work.

Going for impact and driving change

Sustainability is a journey that no single team or organisation can make on its own. We aim for lasting positive impact in our operations and our supply chains.
