We’re driving the agenda for this key issue in the food industry, working in close partnership with the Government, customers and consumers. We believe that everyday pleasures can play an integral part in a healthy lifestyle – and it’s
not a belief we just pay lip service to:
  • We’re providing a range of healthier choices for our consumers with the launch of Walkers Potato Heads, Quaker Seasons, Tropicana Go and Baked Walkers, alongside our established healthy products like Tropicana orange juice and Quaker OatSo Simple.
  • We’ve been actively reducing saturated fat and salt levels in our core Walkers products – there’s currently 70% less saturated fat in Walkers Crisps compared with 2005. We’ve also reduced salt levels in Walkers crisps by 25% and a 34.5g pack now contains just 8% of an adult’s guideline daily amount of salt. We’re committed to making further reductions where possible.
  • We distributed over two million free pedometers to our UK consumers to help them take greater steps towards fitness.
  • We’re one of the founding members of ISBA, the body established to develop food industry voluntary codes of conduct for advertising to children.

It’s not just people outside our company who benefit from our commitment to wellbeing. We also undertake a range of initiatives to help our employees lead healthy and happy lives.

Here are some examples from some of our manufacturing sites:

  • Health assessments for the over 40s and health screening for everyone.
  • Clinical on-site physiotherapy and occupational health support.
  • Online ergonomic/physiotherapeutic support.
  • On-site counselling to help employees quit smoking.
  • One to one nutritional counselling.
  • ‘Get fit – stay fit’ campaign to promote an active lifestyle.
  • Health promotion campaigns focused on specific issues e.g. alcohol awareness, heart health, etc.
  • Rehabilitation programmes for employees whose physical condition requires changes to their working environment or role.
