Ballymaloe Foods
Ballymaloe Foods is an Irish, Cork based food company that is all about family, food and a passion for bringing the best ingredients and taste to their customers, in the most sustainable way possible. They are committed to very high standards in food production and integrity in business. They are proud to be a trusted brand. Ballymaloe Foods strives every day to bring an ethos of hard work, dedication and Ballymaloe warmth to everything they do.
Their sustainability strategy focuses on three key pillars:
Ballymaloe Foods continuously targets energy efficiency upgrades and on-site renewable generation to reduce emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. Significant energy savings have been achieved through heat recovery systems and production efficiency improvements, delivering hundreds of thousands of kilowatt-hours in annual energy reductions.
Responsible sourcing is central to Ballymaloe Foods’ sustainability approach. They prioritise local suppliers, and transparent supply chains to reduce scope 3 emissions.
Also, in collaboration with the Sea and Land Trust CLG, they have created the “Nature & Us – A Young Person’s Insight” project, exploring young people’s relationships with nature and biodiversity.
Ballymaloe Foods has always adopted a whole-value-chain perspective to sustainability, recognising that environmental impact extends beyond their factory gates. When Yasmin was asked about sustainability she said “I think it’s very important that one has a good reputation for not spoiling the Earth and for doing your best. We can all make improvements and we need to keep trying to do that”.
