As part of a ten-year partnership, Lloyds Banking Group has supported Soil Association Exchange in developing and deploying a standardised methodology for collecting and reporting holistic environmental baseline data from farms in the UK.
The aim is to provide farmers with guidance around changes that can improve soil health, reduce carbon emissions, lower inputs and improve biodiversity, while retaining a focus on profitable food production and capitalising on income opportunities.
It’s heartening to see this kind of collaboration from the finance industry, particularly when we see pressure groups elsewhere lobbying banks to stop funding the meat industry. Lloyds and the Soil Association have taken a rigorous evidence-based approach to tackling the climate change challenge, working with the farming industry.
We are the UKs largest trade body for the meat industry and provide expert advice on trade issues, bespoke technical advice and access to government policy makers
We are proud to count businesses of all sizes and specialties as members. They range from small, family run abattoirs serving local customers to the largest meat processing companies responsible for supplying some of our best-loved brands to shops and supermarkets.
We are further strengthened by our associate Members who work in industries that support and supply our meat processing companies.
We are the voice of the British meat industry.
