Bidfood has achieved the highest possible score in the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil’s (RSPO) Shared Responsibility Scorecard for its own-brand products.
RSPO’s annual scorecard assesses organisations across a range of sustainability topics, including palm oil, sustainability reports, water and waste management, carbon data, health and safety, HR policies and support for smallholders.
Bidfood achieved a score of 10 out of 10 for the first time, placing it among just eight operators globally to receive top marks. Other UK businesses at the top of the list include Greggs, John Lewis and M&S, all of which also scored perfect marks in the 2025 Shared Responsibility Scorecard.
The foodservice wholesaler said the achievement reflects a collaborative effort across its sustainability, technical and supply chain teams, as well as its sister manufacturing brands Yarde Farm and Northern Bloc.
It is also making progress with its CarbonCloud project, which will enable Bidfood to gain a greater understanding of the carbon footprint data across its range. This will support its net zero ambitions to reduce Scope 1 and 3 emissions by at least 90% by 2045 and Scope 2 by 100% by 2040.
“It’s an honour to be recognised by a world-renowned organisation committed to transforming the palm oil industry,” said Bidfood head of sustainability Julie Owst.
“This recognition demonstrates the importance of working collaboratively across our business and supply chain to drive meaningful progress on sustainability.
“While we’re proud to have achieved a perfect score, we do not want to become complacent. There’s still a lot of work to do, and we will remain focused on building on this success, working together to reduce carbon emissions, water usage and food waste and be a positive force for change.”
