Newbury flavourings company International Taste Solutions becomes carbon neutral
Newbury-based manufacturer International Taste Solutions is now making flavourings that help save the planet – offsetting all its carbon emissions to make sure they operate at net-zero.
The company – which supplies flavourings to the baking industry – has chosen to offset an extra 10 per cent of its total emissions to make sure they are making a positive impact rather than just cancelling emissions out.
Mike Bagshaw, owner and founder of I.T.S. said: “This is something I’m incredibly passionate about. I.T.S. is here to have a positive impact. I want to run a company that our customers and staff can be proud of.”
“This is not a hygiene factor for us. I see lots of the big corporate flavouring companies making pledges to achieve climate goals years down the line. That’s not how I.T.S. work. We are all about getting things done now. There isn’t time to waste”.
I.T.S. is investing and supporting many carbon-friendly initiatives across the globe: from planting biodiverse forests in Panama, to Burgos Wind Farms in the Philippines. They are also working closer to home helping plant forests in Yorkshire.
And the firm says offsetting is only stage 1 of the journey to become a more sustainable flavouring manufacturer.
