8th June 2010, 9:09am

Aramark, the award-winning managed food service company, has achieved bronze for the second year-running in the Community's Corporate Responsibility Index 2009.

The CR Index supports companies to improve their social and environmental performance through a targeted and systematic approach.

Val Carter, corporate responsibility director, Aramark, said: "Taking the key learnings from last year, when we also achieved Bronze status, Aramark has concentrated efforts on reducing its environmental impact and stepping up momentum in core strategic areas.

"These include the workplace with the implementation of the employee benefits programme; the marketplace with a commitment to local food sourcing; and environment management with the completion of the company's two-year carbon footprint analysis report.

"Working with BITC to achieve certification solidified our commitment to corporate responsibility and further demonstrates the company's credentials in this area; it's a true mark of our leadership in the food service industry.  Thanks to our dedicated team and customers we are already working hard on all areas to ensure 2010 will be another step towards a Gold Class CR programme."
