RH Amar has been operating as a family-owned food importer and distributor for over 80 years. Long before ESG became mainstream, they were making decisions rooted in doing business the right way.
In this episode of the Business of Sustainability Podcast, Alex Smith sits down with James Amar and Simon Fry to talk about what that actually looks like in practice.
They cover:
- How RH Amar formalised giving 10% of profits to charity and why they kept quiet about it for years
- Achieving carbon neutrality on scope one and two emissions and what came next
- Tackling the complexity of food distribution supply chains
- Getting colleagues genuinely engaged rather than just compliant
- Practical advice for any business at the start of its sustainability journey
Whether you lead a family business, manage a supply chain, or are trying to build a culture where sustainability sticks, this conversation is full of honest, practical insight.
