Waitrose commits to soya certification scheme
Waitrose is the first UK supermarket to commit to sourcing 100% of the soya in its own-label products from RTRS-certified sources by December 2015.
The challenging commitment follows ongoing work by WWF-UK to highlight the devastating impact that global soya demands are having on the Cerrado savannah in Brazil and other precious regions.
“Supermarkets account for the vast majority of food purchased in Britain, so we share a collective responsibility to ensure we’re not damaging the world’s precious resources with the ingredients we source,” said Quentin Clark, Waitrose head of sustainable sourcing.
