The Business Case - FoodXervices

The Green Wave is driving more companies to integrate sustainability practices into their operations. Over 85 individuals have joined the Career Conversion Programme (CCP) for Sustainability Professionals since its launch in December 2022, with over 40 companies participating to reskill existing staff or hire mid-career jobseekers for sustainability roles.?

FoodXervices, a local wholesale trade company dealing with Food & Beverage (F&B) products, has established a new sustainability team by reskilling 3 existing management-level staff through the CCP. The team will lead sustainability implementation within their operations, attend a 3-month training programme, and receive salary support while being paired with an industry expert.?

One of the reskilled staff is Mr Jeremy Lau, currently the Facilities Manager, who will take on the expanded job role of a Facilities and Sustainability Manager.??

Mr Lau elaborated on his role, “FoodXervices has put in place a solar panel set-up to optimise energy efficiency and digester that converts food waste to water – the skills I picked up at the CCP like energy and waste management will help my team implement and manage these technologies.”??

FoodXervices’ Co-Founder and CEO, Ms Nichol Ng, aims to develop a sustainable F&B supply chain and ecosystem beyond her company. The new sustainability team will work with different business units and tenants to reduce carbon footprint and kickstart a green movement.?

“I hope to influence the other 5,000 F&B players we serve to make green changes and make a difference.” says Ms Ng. “Though having a dedicated sustainability team may stretch our company’s resources, I believe it’s an investment for the future.”?
