The Newcastle business first created The Greggs Pledge in 2021, setting out 10 commitments aimed at improving the planet, which it outlined in its annual sustainability report.

The pledge includes targets to reduce food insecurity, protect animal welfare and lower its environmental impact, and its 2024 report shows how it has made further progress against its five-year sustainability plan, which is based on three areas - building stronger and healthier communities, making the planet safer and being a better business.
