Corporate responsibility at Barr is neither a new thing nor a separate programme of activity – it is part of what we believe makes good business sense.

Corporate Responsibility is an integral part of our overall business and remains one of the 7 core areas of our strategic focus, sponsored by Andrew Memmott our Operations Director.

Our Corporate Responsibility strategy comprises a programme encouraging all our employees to ‘do the right thing’ and has been aligned within 4 key areas:

• Environment
• Our Consumers
• Our People
• Community

The recycling and reuse of packaging at Barr's goes back to 1875 and remains to this day a key part of our sustainability plans which include strategies on waste, packaging, water usage and energy efficiency across our total operations. We also aim to make a positive contribution within local communities by using our skills, experience and financial resources to support many local good causes, fundraising activities and charity organisations.

We have put the following structure in place to cascade Corporate Responsibility principles across all our business decisions.
