EURO CATER CSR-REPORT 3 Comments from the management Respect for food and people W e focus on the production, trade and consumption of food products in our daily activities. And we are seeing an increasing focus on and demand that our food be healthy and sustainable. Euro Cater takes pride in being part of this development, and we are very humble about our role as the supplier of the raw ingredients and solutions our customers need. Our mission is to make it easy for our customers to serve healthy, inspiring and responsibly produced food. This is a journey the entire industry is undertaking, and we see it as our role to constantly strive to become a little more sustainable in our operations and product range. While continually making it easy and attractive for customers to make slightly more sustainable choices. We will always offer a full range of products at attractive prices. So our contribution to more sustainable food consumption derives from a combination of becoming more sustainable in our own operations and helping our customers to do the same. One of the areas we have focused on during the past year is reducing our climate impact. Svensk Cater now meets its entire electricity consumption using renewable energy sources. Last year we developed a new egg policy. We are committed to phasing out cage eggs in our own production by 2020. And we are working to achieve this goal. We are also committed to phasing out cage eggs in our sales by 2025. This applies to liquid egg products as well as eggs in their shells. Palm oil consumption has many negative impacts on the environment and climate. We phased out all use of non-certified palm oil in our own production during the year. We have continued our focus on minimising food waste. We found recipients for 296 tonnes of sell-by date products during the year, which would otherwise have ended up as food waste. We also have a strong focus on sorting waste at all our sites. One of our goals is to reduce the volume of mixed waste, which is Palm oil consumption has many negative impacts on the environment and climate. We phased out all use of non-certified palm oil in our own production during the year. simply incinerated and not recycled. During the year, we succeeded in reducing the fraction of mixed waste by 2.5 percentage points compared to the previous year. In order to help move our entire sector in a more sustainable direction, Dansk Cater has become a partner in REGA (the Restaurateurs’ Guarantee Association), which addresses anticorruption, human rights and the environment. These areas are all deeply anchored in our CSR strategy. Steen D. Pedersen CEO, Euro Cater/Dansk Cater Henrik Ellegaard CFO, Euro Cater Lars Carlsson CEO, Svensk Cater
