Bunzl Ireland was “thrilled and honoured” to receive the ShelfLife C-Store Sustainability Brand of the Year Award 2023, as a testament to its commitment to sustainability as a business. “Over the past five years, we have dedicated ourselves to fostering a more environmentally conscious approach in our operations,” Bunzl Ireland told ShelfLife.

The company’s comprehensive plan, implemented across the broader Bunzl business, underscores its unwavering dedication to sustainability. Here in Ireland, Bunzl has actively executed this plan, sourcing and incorporating more sustainable products across all its divisions here in Bunzl Ireland especially in the retail sector. “We believe that these conscientious changes resonate with our customers and have positioned us at the forefront of people’s minds when it comes to making sustainable choices,” the company said.

“This award not only recognises our achievements but also serves as motivation to continue our journey towards a greener, more responsible future.”
