sales and marketing, encompassing a diverse range of expertise and services.

Sustainability also represents a central component of the company’ s values. With the Science Based Targets initiative backing and validating Roberts’ goals, which include achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the business by 2050, and the more near-term target of achieving a 50 percent reduction in emissions by 2032.

To help it meet these targets, Roberts has partnered with organizations such as Chester Zoo’ s Sustainable Palm Oil Communities initiative. Member companies utilize and promote the use of sustainable palm oil as an ethical alternative to palm oil products that are a result of deforestation.

In keeping with its core values, Roberts is also an active supporter of its local community. Alongside partnerships with educational institutions such as Liverpool John Moores

University, which lead to collaborative

projects, the company also supports local children through work experience schemes. Charities also play a crucial role in community

outreach, with Roberts proudly supporting Down Syndrome Cheshire.

Recovery and resilience

Achieving long-term success doesn’ t come without its challenges, and sure enough, with over 130 years of history, Roberts has overcome some very difficult moments. One such instance occurred only recently, in June 2023, when a devastating fire ripped through Roberts’ Northwich headquarters. With all staff evacuated and safe, the fire enveloped the flour distribution system, gas ring main, electrical supply, and compressed air facility in the area of the facility where its two bakeries meet. It devastated all of the key infrastructure and services.
