How can an energy-intensive manufacturing business genuinely reduce its carbon footprint and turn sustainability into a commercial advantage?

In this episode of Conscience Marketing's Show the World You Care podcast, Karen Ainley interviews Kate Dixon, Head of Marketing, Innovation and Sustainability at Muntons, the global malt and malted ingredients producer based in Stowmarket. With over 100 years of heritage, Muntons supplies malt for beer, whisky, chocolate, bread, cakes and breakfast cereals – yet has reduced the carbon footprint of its malt by 63%.

This in-depth conversation explores:

• How to start a sustainability journey – including carbon mapping and identifying emissions hotspots
• Decarbonising manufacturing through biomass plants, anaerobic digestion, wastewater treatment and renewable energy
• Practical steps for SMEs that cannot invest in major infrastructure
• The commercial power of supply chain sustainability and Scope 3 emissions
• How sustainability drives customer growth in brewing, distilling and food production
• Communicating ESG strategy without greenwashing
• Winning credibility through awards, including the King’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development
• Engaging employees through internal education and sustainability goals
• Building circular economy thinking into operations and brand messaging
• Why sustainability is bigger than net zero – and how it connects to customers, climate, colleagues, communities and credentials

This episode is essential viewing for business owners, marketers, ESG leaders, sustainability managers and manufacturing professionals looking to integrate sustainability into brand strategy, operations and commercial growth.

If you are working towards Net Zero 2050, reviewing your ESG strategy, reducing Scope 1, 2 or 3 emissions, or looking to strengthen sustainable supply chains, this interview provides practical insight grounded in 15 years of measurable change.
