It’s important that we all understand that we are on a constant journey to improve, change and adapt.”
Quarterly roundtables
One of our most recent ESG initiatives has been to host quarterly roundtables with clients since September 2024.

11 ESG campaigns for 2025
The catering business is delivering 11 ESG campaigns during 2025, focusing on a variety of social and environmental issues from Food Waste Action Week and Plastic Free July to Pride Month. All will be aimed at raising awareness among teams and customers, encouraging people to make more sustainable choices and build habits that align with their own and clients’ net zero goals. BM also runs regular ‘spotlight on sustainability’ roadshows at client sites to share what BM is doing to reduce its environmental impact with customers and engage teams.
The initiatives align with the wider ESG ‘Second Nature’ goals of BM’s parent company, WSH, including science-based targets for emissions reduction.
