allmanhall Partners With Forest Green Rovers
Food procurement specialists, allmanhall has partnered with the world’s greenest football club, Forest Green Rovers, as part of its commitment to making sure that good food doesn’t cost the Earth.
Current food system demands are both adversely impacting and are impacted by global warming in a destructive positive feedback loop. allmanhall is on a mission - the goal? To accelerate the transition to food produced in a way that protects biodiversity, our vital eco‑systems, and decoupled from fossil fuels. Ultimately, allmanhall is promoting the use of healthy, nutritious and affordable food and embedding social, environmental and financial value into decision making.
Says Mike Meek, allmanhall’s Procurement and Sustainability Director, “Joining forces with Forest Green Rovers, the world’s first and only certified vegan football team, is reinforcing allmanhall in establishing a larger community to generate ideas and innovation for change, including the availability of Devil’s Kitchen products.”
The food supply chain experts are collaborating with innovative food partners to provide essential products to deliver the plant‑based food offering enjoyed by the whole Forest Green Rovers community.
As part of the alliance, allmanhall is funding community cooking events with local families to demonstrate affordable, healthy and nutritious recipes. This is in partnership with the Club Community. The first community cooking event took place in March 2024 with more to follow.
Education is a key focus for both allmanhall and Forest Green Rovers; expect to see many more initiatives in this vein, with a focus on environmental and social value.
allmanhall is also sponsoring matches and the team are looking forward to competing in a match at the stadium in May, playing against a number of other partners and suppliers. allmanhall’s Mike Meek comments “We hope to be scoring actual goals as well as the ones we’re achieving for food sustainability!”
