BaxterStorey partners with Paul Newnham

BaxterStorey has announced that it is teaming up with Paul Newnham, chief beans officer of the Beans is How campaign and chief executive officer of the SDG2 Advocacy Hub. By working with the aforementioned campaign, and with Chefs’ Manifesto’s chef Bettina Campolucci Bordi, beans have already made their way into the heart of the caterer’s culinary approach.

Beans is How is an initiative launched by the SDG2 Advocacy Hub, a global campaign to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. The aim is to double the global consumption of beans, as well as peas, lentils and other pulses, by 2028.

'Sustainable nutrition mission'
Lizzie Foskett, head of nutrition for BaxterStorey, said: “We launched Beans is How last year as part of our sustainable nutrition mission, with an overarching ambition to serve more plants and reduce the carbon emissions of the foods we offer. To date, the campaign has been implemented across more than 700 locations, and preliminary data indicates we are nudging our teams and customers in the desired direction.”

Newnham added: "This is a true showcase of the impact that catering companies can make in the push towards sustainable, nutritious, climate-friendly diets. We are excited to be partnering together, and to continue scaling up this work while inspiring others to join us in adding more beans on their menus.”
