Mey Selections are the first Scottish SME (Small Medium Enterprise) to become involved with the Carbon Trust’s product carbon footprinting and labelling initiative.
“Not only are we the first Scottish SME, we are one of the first food and drink companies to become involved with the initiative. Mey Selections is committed to using sustainable standards of farming, fishing and food production, so it seems right that we look for ways to reduce our impact on the environment by minimising the lifecycle carbon emissions of our products from their supply chains.” John Strak, Mey Selections’ Managing Director.
Initially, Mey Selections Luxury All Butter Shortbread, Mey Selections Heather Honey and Mey Selections Blossom Honey will feature the new label on-pack.
Mey Selections will be one of seven leading companies in the third wave of new partners to trial the Trust’s draft Publicity Available Specification (PAS) 2050 – the standard used to assess the lifestyle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of goods and services.
