Burgess Pet Care has been awarded Investors in the Environment (iiE) Bronze accreditation for its ongoing commitment to improving environmental performance and sustainability across the company. 

The recognition from the national environmental accreditation scheme marks an important milestone in Burgess’ sustainability journey. As part of the iiE programme, the leading pet food manufacturer focusses on practical initiatives to reduce waste, improve resource efficiency, and increase awareness of environmental responsibility across teams.

Upgrades at the company’s Goole site have included solar panels, packing lines that accommodate more recyclable packaging, enhanced energy monitoring, new silos, refurbished offices and a growing electric vehicle fleet, delivering measurable improvements in throughput, material recovery, and sustainability performance. 

Suzanne Moyes, Deputy Managing Director at Burgess Pet Care, said:” Achieving the iiE Bronze Accreditation is a positive step forward for Burgess Pet Care and reflects the commitment of our teams to making meaningful environmental improvements. The iiE framework has helped us turn ambition into action, providing clear guidance and accountability as we continue to develop our sustainability strategy.” 

Looking ahead, Burgess Pet Care will build on the foundations set through iiE with a focus on continuous improvement and developing further environmental initiatives as part of its long-term sustainability goals. 

iiE aims to help organisations on their sustainability journey to make a real impact. It has been running for over 15 years, and in that time has helped hundreds of organisations from all sectors and sizes to improve their environmental performance. 

The accreditation forms part of Burgess Pet Care’s ongoing sustainability strategy, which aims to reduce waste, increase recyclable packaging, and cut carbon emissions across its operations.
