What happened
Its 13 October sustainability announcement reports 34,653 MWh of renewable electricity globally in 2025, supported by on-site solar and certified renewable purchases. The 58% figure is global, not a UK-specific site consumption figure.
Why it matters to food manufacturing engineers
Renewable electricity procurement and reductions in physical electricity demand are different achievements and should be reported separately.
Operational impact
Packhouse refrigeration, sorting, handling and packing can benefit from energy efficiency, but the announcement does not quantify site-level engineering savings.
AFME perspective — what to watch
Track energy consumption, intensity, renewable procurement and emissions separately so engineering contributions are measurable.

Engineering Action / Opportunity
Update the site dashboard to show total kWh, kWh per tonne, renewable electricity share and reported carbon emissions as separate metrics.
