Kerry aiming to be global leader in sustainable food

The Tralee-headquartered international food, ingredients, and nutrition group aims to halve food waste in 10 years

Kerry CEO Edmond Scanlon said the food group wants to "create a world of sustainable nutrition".

Food group Kerry is targeting one billion more customers, longer product shelf life, less packaging waste and a major cut in its carbon emissions as part of a wide-reaching 10-year plan to become a global leader in food sustainability.

Launching the group’s new ‘Beyond the Horizon’ strategy and a subtle refreshing of the Kerry brand, CEO Edmond Scanlon said the move will not see Kerry change its business strategy or acquisition outlook.
