Industry and the Community

Food and drink manufacturers are proud of the close links they have with the communities in which they operate – and the ways in which they make a positive difference to the everyday lives of local people.

The industry's commmitment in this arena is long-standing; it stems from time before it was defined as 'Corporate Social Responsibility'.

This section contains examples of how our members are forging links with their local communities and with consumers.
