We embrace forward-thinking approaches and technological advancement, continuously exploring creative solutions to meet the evolving needs of our global food science community. Our curiosity drives us to challenge existing paradigms, develop cutting-edge tools, and remain adaptable in a rapidly changing research landscape.

Our commitment to sustainability 

We are a signatory to the SDG Publishers Compact. The SDG Publishers Compact is a United Nations initiative that was launched in 2020 in collaboration with the International Publishers Association. It aims to accelerate progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

Having signed the Compact, we are now using the SDG framework to develop a range of sustainable working practices.

In August 2021, we were delighted to receive an EcoVadis Gold Medal sustainability rating following an assessment of our policies, practices and measures on the environment, labour and human rights, and ethics. We're passionate about continuing this work and want to keep pushing to achieve a more sustainable working environment.
