We shall also adopt the policies and procedures of our partner and other venues and ensure they are aware and where possible assist us with our sustainability policies and procedures.

Sustainable objectives and targets will be set to monitor progress and ensure continual improvement in all areas and to assist us to demonstrate leadership in the area sustainability. We will also comply with all legal and regulatory environmental, financial, and social obligations.

Contractors and Supply partners will be made aware of the Fitzers Catering sustainability policy, and their obligations to support and contribute to this policy. Compliance with this policy will be regularly evaluated by the Sustainability Management Group and non-compliances reported to members of the central management team.

The key to maintaining a successful sustainability management system involves our legacy of a “One Team” approach throughout the entire organisation.
