Sustainability
We can’t go on eating the way we are – the world just won’t survive. But by switching to a lower-environmental impact protein with Quorn®, you CAN help the planet one bite at a time.
Sure, our products are great for you and the planet, but behind the scenes, we’re also working to minimize our environmental impact by making our operations as efficient as possible. Explore our sustainability initiatives.

Love food, hate waste
“Waste not, want not,” Mom always used to say. So, we’re making it an essential mission to do our bit for tackling food waste too:
We've joined WRAP's Courtauld 2025 initiative to reduce waste and emissions by one-fifth
Between 2024 and 2025, we reduced food waste per tonne of product at our warehouses by 46% through better planning and redistribution[1]
We’ve achieved a 59% reduction in food waste 2025 vs 2019[1]
