The Weetabix Food Company has today published its 2025/2026 Sustainability Report, reaffirming its long-term commitment to readying the nation with nutritious goodness, made the right way. The report outlines progress across responsible sourcing, lower-carbon production and packaging, embedding sustainability at scale across everyday breakfast products found on shelves nationwide.

The report marks a significant milestone in Weetabix’s sustainability journey, with the company achieving independent validation of its near-term, Net Zero and FLAG targets by the Science Based Targets Initiative. This validation confirms that Weetabix’s climate ambitions are credible, science-led and aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and provides a clear framework for continued progress towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050.


Weetabix highlights tangible progress across its four sustainability pillars: Sourcing, Product, Operations and Social Responsibility. Over the past year, the business has deepened its partnerships with British wheat farmers through its Growers Group, supporting more resilient UK supply chains while reducing on-farm emissions.

Despite challenging weather conditions, these collaborations have delivered valuable insights and laid the foundations to scale the production of less carbon-intensive wheat in the years ahead.

Alongside its environmental ambitions and stewardship, the report also underscores Weetabix’s long-standing commitment to people and communities. Since 2014, the company has redistributed more than 25 million breakfast servings through its partnerships with FareShare and Magic Breakfast, including 1.3 million bowls of cereal in the past year alone, helping to support children and families facing food insecurity. In parallel, Weetabix continues to invest in its workforce and future talent through expanded apprenticeship programmes, mental health support across manufacturing teams and a sustained focus on inclusion.

“This year’s report reflects the progress we continue to make in reducing emissions across our operations and supply chain, while maintaining the scale, quality and reliability that our grocery and convenience partners expect," said Colm O’Dwyer, Managing Director of Weetabix Food Company UK & Ireland.
