Quorn Foods

Wow what a busy month it's been! As part of our 'Fixture Fest' initiative, Quorn colleagues have been hitting supermarket aisles this January. They have helped replenish and refresh fixtures, build new connections with retail partners and ensured that shoppers can get their hands on our tasty Quorn products in the biggest month of the year for the Meat Free category. We love seeing the team's in store efforts! 🧡

2025 is all about making our hero products even better. Our Quorn Mince and Pieces have had an upgrade. You'll now find them in store with a new 'Cooks in 10mins' flash on pack. So whether you're whipping up a speedy Spaghetti Bolognese, a Classic Chilli or quick Thai Green Curry, we've got it covered, in a flash! And to ensure we've got lots of speedy midweek meal inspo for our consumers, we've partnered with Meals with Max who has created some delicious dinners! https://lnkd.in/eApzYAV3 https://lnkd.in/e7w7VyQx

Today we are proud to publish our 2024 Net Positive Report, which covers the progress we have made, since our last report in 2022, towards achieving our 2030 Ambition of becoming a Net Positive organisation.

We hope you enjoy reading more about our Net Positive journey in the full report. https://lnkd.in/eUKEHqX2 #netpositive #sustainability #environment #society #sustainabilityreport

This week we’re giving a big Quorn welcome to our new CEO, David Flochel. On starting his new role, David says: “Quorn Foods has a strong history of success, but 2025 will be a reset year for the company. This is a brilliant opportunity to transform the business into the next stage of its journey and I am delighted to be taking on this new role. I believe that with the right focus and execution we can turn around the company and current category performance.” David will be picking up the leadership reins from Marco Bertacca after his five years with the business. We want to say a big thanks to Marco, whose passion for the Quorn business, mission and values has been unparalleled. Commenting on David’s appointment, Marco said: “I know Quorn is in good hands. David is bringing an incredible depth of knowledge and experience into the company, and we are working closely together to ensure a smooth transition.”

Did you know that agriculture takes up almost half of the world's habitable land? And that the food industry is responsible for a third of global greenhouse gas emissions?     As we near the end of #SustainableSeptember we reflect on ways we can minimise the impact our eating habits have on the environment so we can improve the health of our planet.    Khanh Mach, Sustainability Specialist at Quorn Foods, explores how shifting to a diet lower in meat can make a true impact on global gas emissions. For example, research suggests that swapping just 20% of global beef consumption for microbial protein, like mycoprotein, could halve deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions associated with it in the next 30 years.    Learn more from Khanh on how Quorn mycoprotein can benefit the health of you and the planet: https://lnkd.in/emPGVTAX 

We are happy to share our recent collaboration with Ateljee VZW, a Belgian social profit company that provides tailored employment and support to over 400 individuals facing barriers in the regular labour market. Through this partnership, the products we donated were made into delicious meals at Ateljee's kitchens, which operate a network of five social restaurants in the Ghent region that offer affordable or free meals to low-income community members. Every donated meal from Quorn will enable Ateljee to allocate more resources to their transformative employment projects, including thrift stores, a bicycle repair shop, and more! These projects are a platform for people who struggle to get a job finding their way back to employment. As well as supporting with food donations, Quorn's executive chef Saveyn Nico will soon be cooking alongside the Ateljee team, enhancing their culinary skills and demonstrating how to make delicious dishes with our products. At Quorn Foods, we have an ambition to reach Net Positive by 2030, part of which is to help global non-profit organisations fight against food insecurity. We thank Ateljee VZW for joining us in this journey, bringing Quorn products to a wider community in Belgium and look forward to building a long-term partnership that benefits people and the planet. Big thanks to Andrea Shaw and Khanh Mach for helping to set up this new partnership. #NetPositive #SocialEnterprise #SocialImpact #TogetherForChange #FoodRevolution
