The UK supplier stressed that its focus was already on the next phase of sustainability and resilience

Worldwide Fruit has expressed pride at being chosen for the Marks & Spencer 2026 Sustainability Award, which it said was recognition of the company’s hard work in turning sustainability commitments into practical action.
“The award recognised work across our regenerative farming programmes, the development of our carbon calculations and net zero pathways, and the case studies we’ve published to share learning and help move the industry forward,” the company stated on LinkedIn. “We’re grateful to Marks & Spencer for recognising this work. It’s great to see the outcomes we’ve been focused on over the last few years acknowledged in this way.”
However, Worldwide Fruit pointed out that its focus had already moved on to what comes next. “We’re currently finalising the next phase of our sustainability and resilience programme and setting ourselves some ambitious goals for 2027,” it revealed. “The challenge now is to keep delivering, keep measuring what matters, and continue building the evidence that these programmes are making a real difference.”
“Thank you Marks and Spencer,” Worldwide Fruit CEO Steve Maxwell said. “Fantastic to see the work we do together gain this recognition. Lots done, lots more to do.”
