Everything we do at Interfood is focused on value creation. We build on our team’s knowledge, expertise, and networks to realise our value propositions to meet and, wherever possible, exceed the expectations of our stakeholders and society.
Our value creation model connects inputs—human, intellectual, financial, natural, and social and relationship capital—with outputs, sustainable outcomes and solutions, and positive impact on the SDGs, aligning economic and ecological value with our purpose, ‘Together for better’.
How we engage with our stakeholders

Stakeholder engagement is a vital component of our business. We strive to build and maintain strong relationships with all stakeholder groups to ensure they are up-to-date on our business developments, and to address their interests, needs, and expectations.

“Sustainability and the transition to net zero are of increasing importance to our customers, manufacturers, farmers, and future generations. Partnerships and our position in the centre of the supply chain are key on this important journey”
