From sustainability priorities to improving performance

From sustainability priorities to improving performance

The challenge

Give British Bakels a clear view of where to focus its sustainability efforts, turn those priorities into business strategy and product decisions, and share its progress with customers and other stakeholders.

How Canopy helped

Find the focus

We conducted a materiality assessment and worked directly with the senior management team in a working session to help shape the sustainability strategy. Working with 3Keel, we helped deliver a carbon footprint for the business.

Put strategy into action

To help put the strategy into practice, we worked with 3Keel to build a sustainable product assessment tool. Its red, amber and green ratings support product innovation, helping the team bring sustainability considerations into day-to-day product and customer decisions.

Communicate progress

We helped bring the team’s work across Planet, People and Products into their 2026 Sustainability Report, helping them tell their impact story to customers and other stakeholders.

What changed

Clear priorities

Practical product decisions

Progress communicated

British Bakels has a clearer view of its carbon footprint and sustainability priorities, a strategy to guide its next steps, and a practical tool to assess sustainability considerations during product innovation.

Its published Sustainability Report brings the work together in a clear account of progress and priorities.
