OUR WORK
WITH FARESHARE
We are proud to have been supporting FareShare, by
donating products for redistribution to people in need
and by our staff using some (or all!) of their two paid
days a year for volunteering to support the charity
since 2019.
In 2024, the number of soft drink serves we’ve donated
to FareShare since we began working with them hit
more than 293,00027. These have been redistributed to
more than 2,280 charities27, reaching people in need
at older people’s lunch clubs, community centres,
homeless shelters and more.
Not only is this a way of giving back to communities
it also helps reduce waste (and the carbon emissions
associated with this), moving us closer to achieving net
zero emissions.

FOURTH GROCERYAID GOLD AWARD
IN AS MANY YEARS
In 2024, our soft drinks and beer businesses were
awarded the Gold Award by the charity GroceryAid.
For our soft drinks business this is the fourth year we
have been recognised for the work we carry out to
support the physical and mental wellbeing of people
who work in our organisation and live in the wider
communities we serve.
GroceryAid provides emotional, financial and practical
support for people working in the UK grocery industry.
Our employees have continued to raise awareness and
funds for the charity over the past year, with many
giving up their time to volunteer for GroceryAid.
We’re also working hard to support our colleagues
in the licensed trade through a variety of initiatives.
These include J2O’s partnership with the renowned
