Becoming more sustainable without neglecting profitability: Seed to shelf - Part 1

Hamlyns of Scotland take in around 80,000 tons of oats from Scottish farms each year, producing oatflakes and oatmeal including standard, gluten-free and organic options to a range of retailers and even other companies for further processing into more specialised products.  The process is hugely energy intensive, from intake right through to packaging for delivery to the consumer or retailer. But Hamlyns have found three key ways to reduce their emissions:
• Harnessing wind power
• Moving to more renewable paper packaging and reducing plastics overall
• Moving from oil to gas as their primary source of energy
