It’s all about food on this week’s episode as Matthew Richardson gives us a tour of Richardsons, a Limerick supplier of fresh food to top restaurants, hotels and catering companies. We will learn how the highly successful business has a sustainable focus, producing electricity needed by solar panels on the roof and creating circular systems to reduce packaging.
What can a company do to become more sustainable?
- Analyse your own greenhouse emissions to expose what your company’s highest pollutants
- Making little changes like turning off lights in the evening, lowering the heating or air condition and taking devices off plugs when possible can make a massive difference.
- Use low-carbon emitting vehicles, encourage carpooling and public transportation and consider moving electric
- Avoid flying when possible
- Insulate your building to reduce the need for energy and make sure all appliances are energy-efficient
- Consider installing solar panels
- Like the businesses Richardsons supplies, support local suppliers to cut down on air miles and support the local economy
- Reuse and recycle to reduce your carbon footprint and reduce waste
