Mystery woman quizes M&S boss.
A MYSTERY Guernsey woman has sparked a debate about Marks &
Spencer’s recyclable food packaging in the island. Chief executive Sir
Stuart Rose was asked by the local at the Hay-on-Wye Festival in Wales
what he was going to do about the packaging that goes into landfill on
the island.
She told him: ‘I live on Guernsey and we do not recycle any of our
packaging. It all goes into landfill. Haven’t you got a sense of
responsibility about that?’
He said the island’s M&S stores were not owned by the company
but operated as franchises by a Guernsey-owned business – Creaseys.
‘But I agree it is a concern and I will make sure I speak to the guy in
charge,’ he said. ‘I will speak to our people about it when I get back
to work on Tuesday after the bank holiday.’
Peter Creasey said he had not yet been contacted by Sir Stuart and
defended the retailer’s reputation. ‘We have always taken our
environmental responsibility seriously,’ he said.
I must admit their packaging is way over the top lets hope Sir Stuart Rose gives Peter Creasey an ear bashing.
