Colleagues are direct employees of KP Snacks across all our manufacturing sites and head office.

Creating opportunities for people to get more active means

• funding places (e.g. lessons)
• or installing sports facilities (e.g. urban cricket pitches)
• or providing equipment giveaways (e.g. cricket bats and balls)
• creating participative consumer roadshow events to promote getting active
• or providing inspiration by developing and promoting bespoke 'get active' content specifically focused on encouraging people to get active (e.g. a Hoopathon)

This does not mean any indirect inspiration that may or may not result from our brands being visible on playing shirts or at sports grounds.

For the purposes of a measurable goal diversity refers to gender, age and ethnicity. However, we continue to aspire to be an inclusive workforce for all forms of diversity.

Effectively recycled means that packaging is collected from consumers, sorted and reprocessed and sold through strong and stable end markets.

Food waste generated across our manufacturing sites means any food ingredient, semi-finished or finished goods we have made or purchased that is not then sold to a retail customer because it is deemed unfit for sale due to processing errors, quality issues, age or other reasons.

The Food Waste Reduction Roadmap is an industry-wide programme of work developed by WRAP and IGD that sets out how the UK food industry will help achieve UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3.

FSC certified means material that comes from responsibly managed, FSC-certified forests

This refers to the Forest Stewardship Council®.

Further reduce means we have previously reduced salt across many of our products, but this target is to deliver a further reduction versus our 2021 baseline i.e. not counting salt reductions that took place earlier.

An ingredient is one that appears directly on the ingredient statement and is labelled as such on our products

For organisations committed to addressing their environmental impact, conserve resources and improve the bottom line through efficient energy management, the ISO 50001 standard is a practical energy management system designed to improve energy use.

Less than 100kcals per pack means a single serve snack pack intended to be consumed in one sitting by one person. We define a single serve pack as a product of 50g or less in weight.

We define local community as communities within a 25 mile radius of each of our seven manufacturing sites and nationwide for our Slough Head Office.

Lost Time Incident Frequency Rate is calculated using a formular where LTA (lost time accident) x 200,000 / No of Hours. Our Reduction plan is based on the HSE UK Common Strategy and is part of the FDF Strategy of 10 % reduction

Non-HFSS refers to a food with a Nutrient Profile Model (NPM) score of 3 or below (or exempt nut products) as defined in The Food (Promotion & Placement) (England) Regulations 2021

Products that are at least a source of fibre or protein refers to products containing fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, pulses or wholegrains which allow a minimum on-pack claim of 'Source of fibre or protein' as defined in the Nutrition & Health Claims Regulation. Additionally, these should be non-HFSS.

Recyclable means supplying the relevant on pack label (OPRL) to direct consumers to a recycling option. For flexible plastics, this means the OPRL “recycle at front of store” label, which can be carried on all our consumer flexible plastic packaging (crisp packets etc) with the exception of KP Nuts.

Recycled is paper or board that is reconstituted into paper again.

Recycled content means plastics recovered and reprocessed after initial use and used to make new packaging. The overall UK Plastics Pact roadmap to 2025 UK Plastics Pact 2025 target is for 30% average recycled content across all plastic packaging but there are variations on the targets depending on packaging format:

• PET bottles – 50%
• Milk bottles - 50%
• PE bottles – 40–45%
• PET trays – 35–40%
• PP PTTs – 50% PE
• PP film – 10%.

Recycled sources means material that has been certified by FSC as coming from recycled sources

Responsible sourcing is defined on an assessment of risks determined by Intersnack a procurement category basis. For this, we use our Due Diligence Policy. We utilise four different priority categories for the items we purchase through our supply chain, based on an assessment of risk, volume and influence. This determines the level of engagement we have with our suppliers on this topic. (See Intersnack public sustainability report)

Our Responsible Sourcing Policy requires our food and packaging suppliers to comply with local requirements and to guarantee decent working conditions in their supply chains. These suppliers must also use the Sedex self-assessment questionnaire. 100% of our food and packaging suppliers signed our Responsible Sourcing Policy (RSP) Read more about this in the most recent Intersnack sustainability report.

Salt levels across our products means a sales-weighted average salt content across the KP Snacks portfolio.

A Science Based Target means a target set through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which is a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).  The SBTi provides a clear framework for companies to set climate targets that are in line with the Paris Climate Agreement.  

Scope 1 emissions are greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that occur directly from sources controlled or owned by KP Snacks, such as those emitted by our factory operations and offices.

Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions associated with the electricity we purchase.

Sourcing only RSPO Certified Sustainable Palm Oil means RSPO Segregated Certified Sustainable sources – as per RSPO requirements

Due to the specific nature of our products, the packaging materials we use are critical to ensuring food quality and preventing food waste. For example, potato crisps require a packaging material that provides a moisture barrier to prevent them from becoming soft; nuts need a material that provides an oxygen barrier which stops the nuts from becoming rancid. The types of material we currently use have been optimised to achieve this. Therefore, we focus on minimising the volume of packaging material we use for each product type without compromising taste or quality and are continually exploring opportunities to make further reductions.

This refers to all the water we use within our manufacturing processes as well as general consumption across our manufacturing sites

World-class means the world-class standard for health, safety and environment in the Food Industry. This embodies leadership commitment to not only developing a safety culture where each person is accountable for the safety and well-being of all, but providing the means and methods for each employee to leave work in the same or better condition than which they arrived.
