Sustainability 


MCFT has been a responsible business since it started and, in the UK, has published an annual report, detailing its approach and CSR activities since 2013. 


The world has moved on these last 10 years – and our business has grown. Solicitous of the needs of all our stakeholders, our aim when challenged with Paul Polman’s Net Positive question “is the world better off because your business is in it” is to answer with an affirmative and assertive "YES" and this is the same in every global location......

UN Global Compact


To that end – see our accreditations - having started our relationship with Mark Moody-Stuart and Steve Kenzie back in 2016, we are now SME members of the UN Global Compact, signed up to the Communication on Progress and committed to the Goals detailed below:

Accreditation, Awards and Certificates


We have a plethora of external accreditations unparalleled in our industry encompassing environmental waste, health & safety, sustainability (including people, environment and community) professional registrations and people investment.

Pre-loved Equipment

As a Food Equipment Service supplier dedicated to helping their community, we often come across second-hand equipment that’s too good to scrap and immediately begin looking for good causes that could do with a helping hand.


All equipment is in working, tested condition – some may even be near new. All have been recovered from loving homes, now lost, and in need of a new loving family.


We escalate all equipment requests to our CSR committee to determine if we can meet the customer’s needs (and needs are sufficient) and will aim to respond with 3-5 working days.


If you’re interested in requesting any equipment, please contact csr@mcft.com.

Carbon Neutral

As part of our CSR programme, MCFT has set up a carbon offset programme to counter balance some of the energy used in running the business. Our engineers are out on the road on a daily basis and we strive to compensate for their CO2 emissions as much as possible. MCFT has planted 10,775 trees over recent years, making the company fully carbon neutral. 


Since 2011, MCFT has been a dedicated friend of the Heart of England Forest. The forest stretches across Warwickshire in the heart of England – from the ancient Forest of Arden, south to the edge of the Vale of Evesham. It’s an area dense in cities, towns and industry, hence creating a place to walk under shady canopies and through airy glades, away from the bustle of city life.

The Plough, Longparish

05 Jul, 2021
At the start of 2021 MCFT partnered with the Plunkett Trust, a scheme to support community led projects. We were approached by the Plough at Longparish to see whether we could assist with donating Kitchen Equipment. The team at The Plough in Longparish were absolutely delighted to have received a donation of really excellent kitchen equipment from MCFT for our new trade kitchen. In 2021 The Plough was bought and refurbished by the local community, in time to open by the end of the summer. Saving the Plough has been a labour of love and, of course, we’ve had to keep a tight rein on the budget, so to receive a donation of kitchen equipment of this quality has given us an enormous boost. We are extremely grateful. Thanks so much to everyone at MCFT. Please do drop in for a beer if you’re ever in Longparish! Many thanks for your very generous donations - Andy Jolliffe, Chairman, Longparish Community Pub Limited A big thank you to CBRE who have donated us the kit we have given the equipment a second chance, saves scrapping the units. The Plough has had its doors closed throughout Covid times with the aim to be back open and servicing again in the Summer of 2021. This great destination pub has been missed by the local Longparish before the community led group took on the project to get the doors back open. The Plunkett Trust has allowed MCFT to partner with community based organisations and really make a difference to local communities. I just wanted to say thank you so much for supplying the Plough with all this equipment. It is a massive help as the budget is getting tighter and tighter as we find more areas of concern inside the old building. – Mark Reynolds I’d like to add my personal note to say how delighted and grateful we all are for your very kind and generous donations. The equipment we have received looks like it is not only in excellent serviceable condition, and has clearly saved us a huge amount of money at a time when we’re closely watching every penny we spend; it is also clearly top of the range product as well, and so much better than anything we could have hoped to acquire if we had being buying this for our kitchen. Just this afternoon, our chef (who starts at the end of August) paid us a visit and was amazed to see what we have received. Thank you! - Andy Jolliffe, Chairman, Longparish Community Pub Limited .

Team MCFT Gets Behind Charitable Causes

by Alice Cole • 22 Oct, 2019
We’re very proud of the fact that so many of our team are actively out there, raising money for good causes, all in their own time. Here is a snapshot of just some of the fundraising activities that are going on just now including sky diving, marathons, and SAS training! See below for more about why they're doing it, together with links if you'd like to donate. Skydiving for Luke Dani, Zgora, Charlie, Stuart and Joe are doing a charity skydive when they go to Dubai to visit MCFT’s UAE offices in December. Dani explains: “Sadly a very close friend of mine (Luke) passed away in July, he loved playing sports and was very successful in football. Luke supported the Reading FC community trust. The money that we raise will go towards the charity. If you would like to donate please click on the go fund me page below. Any donation would be really appreciated, thanks!” https://www.gofundme.com/f/skydive-in-memory-of-luke Marathon for Shelter Cymru Engineer Scott is based in Wales. He says: “I'm running the Cardiff half marathon on October 6th. It's my first event in a few years and I have decided to try and raise money for Shelter Cymru (Wales for those who don't know). They do so much work for people living rough or in very poor conditions. So many of these are children and hurts me to see this. If anyone could spare some money to help it would be much appreciated. Just click on the link below. A £1 will do, every little helps” https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/scott-barry2 Challenge series for Bloodwise Engineer Michael has set himself 6 challenges throughout 2019 - 2020 "Late 2018 I was heartbroken by Auntie Carol’s Leukaemia diagnosis, devastating all that knew and loved her. In 2019 she lost her fight to Leukaemia after catching neutropenic sepsis. I’m doing these challenges to help raise money for Bloodwise in honour of Auntie Carol who was taken away from us far too soon. The challenges include; Rough Runner, Tough Mudder, Blenheim Palace Triathlon amongst others. I would like to help Bloodwise to put a stop to Leukaemia as my family continues to be impacted by the devastating affects of Leukaemia, as another very special lady in mine and my wife's live is battling this horrible disease."
