Our Sustainability Progress
The video shows some of the highlights of our journey so far.
Thank you for reading our Weetabix Food Company 2025 Sustainability Report.
Our wheat farmers faced significant challenges from the weather this year, so I am incredibly proud of the progress we have maintained through partnership. Together, we have taken a vital step on our path to lower carbon wheat. Specifically, 14 farms have been involved with a greenhouse gas assessment to establish our baseline emissions. 6 farms have been involved in field trials to reduce nitrogen use and improve efficiency – this is an FDF award winning initiative.
These achievements are underpinned by a clear strategy, and 2025 is a milestone year in which
we have had our ambitious Net-Zero targets validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative. It’s the energy and collaboration of our people and partners that make this progress possible, and I look forward to the great strides we will continue to make together.
I hope you enjoy exploring our latest report and welcome any feedback you might have that will help us improve.

We have been conducting Greenhouse Gas assessments with farms since 2022, to understand baseline emissions and help us in our mission to produce less carbon- intensive grains at economic scale.
A successful trial at our Corby plant achieved a reduction in the Greenhouse Gas emissions of our packaging of 40%, with the potential to extend across our business.
Our new scope 1 & 2 science based targets are now focused on an ambitious 54.6% reduction by 2033.
We hit the milestone of more than 25 million breakfast servings donated via FareShare since 2014, with an ongoing target of 3 million a year across our FareShare and Magic Breakfast contributions.
The end of this year is also the deadline by which we committed to reduce our Greenhouse Gas emissions by 20% against a baseline of 2018.
100% of our suppliers are now signed up to our ethical terms and conditions - another first for us in 2024/25.

"Our purpose is to ready the nation with nutritious goodness made the right way and so we are committed to our sustainability strategy and it’s progress."
2025 marks a key milestone in our sustainability strategy, as it is the year by which we committed to have our near-term, Net-Zero and FLAG (Farming, Lands and Agricultural) targets validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). The end of this year is also the deadline by which we committed to reduce our Greenhouse Gas emissions by 20% against a baseline of 2018.
Achieving these milestones requires sustained effort and progress across four key areas – Sourcing, Product, Operations and Social.
