Wholesale and retail company BWG Foods has committed to investing €25m in a four year sustainability strategy aimed at significantly reducing the environmental impact of its nationwide supply chain. As part of the new strategy, BWG Foods is switching to cleaner energy and will install renewable energy solutions across its operations. BWG Foods, along with its independent retailers, is also installing solar power units across a number of supermarket stores. The new sustainability strategy was developed as part of BWG Foods’ bid to secure Bord Bia’s Origin Green status, which it has now been awarded. BWG Foods recently launched a fleet of new CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and Biogas vehicles, in place of traditional diesel fuel.
