How does your city increase access to sustainable foods? | Gold Food Place Award 2020 – Brighton and Hove Food Partnership (BHFP)https://bhfood.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Gold-Food-Places-Bid-2020.pdfA new partnership Food and Planning Project brought together BHFP with Brighton & Hove City Council (BHCC) Planning Department, supported by Sustain, with funding from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. The partnership has integrated food into the planning system in three ways: • A revised and improved Planning Advice Note (PAN) on Food Growing was adopted in September 2020. Its development, 2018-2020, included consultation with developers, planning agents and frontline planners. The PAN provides technical guidance to encourage the inclusion of food growing spaces in new developments. • A new Health Impact Assessment checklist which developers will be required to complete incorporates food growing, access to food shops and over-provision of fast food. • A new Urban Design Framework Supplementary Planning Document (in progress) will incorporate both food growing and wider food access. A requirement for more veg in catering National retailer Lidl, BHCC and the University of Brighton worked in partnership to better understand the circumstances and potential barriers facing low-income families in East Brighton with regards to eating veg. Recommendations from the research fed into Lidl’s National Healthy Eating Strategy. • The Lidl research was presented at a national Public Health England conference in 2019 and at Peas Please national conferences in London and Manchester. More veg in schools, universities, hospitals and workplaces BHFP ran a ‘making veg the star of the plate’ training session for the Good Food Procurement Group, a Caterers Network. As a result: • 70% committed to serve two portions of veg with every main meal at no extra cost. This adds up to approximately 71,900 meals a day (2 million meals a month) • 73% included multiple vegetarian/vegan options • 53% flipped the menu to read veggie option first. • A collaborative approach has led to real change e.g. University of Sussex and Compass Group now have an exclusively vegetarian café, and 80% of their cafes operate with 50-70% vegan/vegetarian options daily.Individual public sector organisations were persuaded to adopt specific food policies, e.g. nutrition standards, healthy catering and vending, ‘tap water only’ and ethical standards such as cage-free and Fairtrade. • The Healthy Choice Award scheme for school breakfast clubs was redeveloped to include activity sessions. The national schools Games Mark for Physical Activity and the Healthy Choice Award and the Smile Award were merged to increase awareness of all the schemes; 54 schools have now received the award. • The citywide Healthy Choice Award scheme for Early Years settings added a requirement to provide two or three types of veg each day, and the Minimum Buying Standards Brighton & Hove City Council Good Food Standards for catering contracts are currently being updated to reflect the citywide commitment to increase consumption of veg. • Whilst Sussex Partnership has moved away from its award-winning local hub procurement model, other GPFG members have moved on in strides, notably Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust, which has fully committed to sustainable and healthy food and waste and plastics reduction through changing practices and a new oversight group. • The East Sussex County Council primary and secondary school meal provider, providing 17,000 meals per day, now has a Gold Food For Life award. It ran an award-winning pilot on behavioural nudges following a GPFG workshop on healthy eating behaviour change nudges. • Major event venue the Brighton Centre achieved Bronze Food For Life after being asked to commit to the city’s Minimum Buying Standards as part of its contract. • The University of Sussex achieved Sustainable Restaurant Association 3* rating. • Kudos, the caterer at the Brighton Centre, opted to stop serving beef on its menus because of the climate crisis. Help procurement officers source more local food by linking them with producers and processors through local supplier directories and ‘meet the supplier’ events. Work began in 2020 on updating the popular BHFP directory of local suppliers, used by many caterers. • BHFP ran a local suppliers’ tour for the GPFG, with the opportunity for members of the Group to share challenges and recommendations about using local suppliers. Help small food businesses access procurement via on-line tendering databases and cooperative marketing and supply initiatives. • Exploratory talks were held in summer 2020 with BHCC and adjacent local authority representatives leading to a commitment to explore options around encouraging joint local supply routes / food hubs. Work with restaurants and other catering businesses to help them source more healthy, sustainable, ethical and locally produced ingredients. | 0 | 52,103 |

Account for your organization’s Scope 3 emissions, disclosing and explaining any exclusions. | Emerging regulatory requirements are a strategic risk for PACCAR and are always evaluated because compliance with all applicable regulations for manufacturing and use of commercial vehicles must be achieved to increase market share and revenues and to avoid fines. Regulatory risks are identified and assessed on a global basis by experienced internal management at semi-annual meetings, and through external stakeholder engagement including frequent collaborations with partners, suppliers, government agencies and customers to identify risks from increasing regulations, changing customer preferences, new disruptive technology and public policy support for low carbon transportation infrastructure such as vehicle electrification and low carbon fuels. Product or transition related risks including emerging regulations are identified and evaluated globally, and reported to the Board of Directors quarterly. Evaluation of regulatory risks includes determination of the magnitude of the financial risk. The significance of the financial impact of identified risks including climate-related risk is based on probabilities of both the likelihood of occurrence and potential financial impacts, and the materiality and estimability of probable risks in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial impact of climate-related risk is based on key assessment aspects including the proportion of business units affected, the size of the impact on those business units and the potential shareholder or customer concern. A substantive financial impact could occur due to a large change in one of these key aspects or a small change in all three aspects. PACCAR participates in industry groups and collaborates directly with government agencies to track and help craft regulations related to road freight and manufacturing operations. For example, two of PACCAR's nameplates, Kenworth and Peterbilt, collaborated with the Port of Long Beach California, Transpower and the California Air Resources Control Board to develop all electric models to meet potential new requirements for zero emissions port logistics. | 0 | 548,151 |
