We achieve this in a variety of ways. Firstly, in 2023 we purchased an electric cargo quadricycle to deliver our catering around the city. This is the first bike of its kind on the road in Glasgow and only one of a handful across Scotland. It is a completely emission free and almost carbon neutral form of transportation. By using clean, zero emission transportation, we are making a significant contribution to developing a cleaner, greener neighbourhood.

Secondly, through the distribution of surplus food we have saved the equivalent of 40 tonnes of C02 going to landfill in the past twelve months. 

We also recycle 100% of the recyclable waste generated by our pantry and food enterprises. In the past twelve months we have recycled 2.9 tonnes of food waste and 2.7 tonnes of cardboard, diverting over 1.5 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere. This is the equivalent of one HGV truck driving 1,700kms. 

Through these initiatives we are helping Glasgow reach its stated goal of becoming a Net Zero, Carbon Neutral city by 2030.
