Massive improvement – but we want to do even better

We’re the largest grocery distribution centre in Ireland; thousands of pallets pass through Kilcock every month. We have rigorous targets to meet, and in the last two years we’ve achieved a 90 per cent improvement in waste management performance.

But it’s not just about sustainability – there are serious contamination issues to consider if our standards are not sufficiently high.

We’re ISO9000 and EQA accredited, and we’re externally assessed every quarter. To ensure we keep meeting targets we self-impose additional challenges and checks right across the site. We have regular improvement meetings. Our warehouse undergoes a waste management audit bi-weekly. We have a strict deep-clean schedule. We check every pallet space every week to make sure it’s in good shape, and segregate all wastes for recycling.

We’re currently in the process of massively increasing site capacity, and we welcome the new challenges that will bring.
