Our FOOD Roadmap
We have identified three focus areas towards serving food people trust. Learn more about the goals we have set and our updates for each.
FOOD SAFETY
Goal
Continue to serve great tasting and safe foods through rigorous audits and certifications yearly across all our stores, commissaries, and logistics.
Status
100% of our stores, commissaries, and logistics worldwide
undergo various internal and/or third-party assessments yearly.
*Covered in the scope are 12/17 key brands for stores, 16/16 manufacturing plants, and 3/6 Logistics Centers
FOOD QUALITY
Goal
Responsibly source key ingredients from suppliers.
Status
We will create and deploy a responsible sourcing program for focused categories poultry, beef, packaging (fiber, resin), palm oil, coffee, dairy, and agricultural product (vegetable). Our focus will be on creating a baseline, setting targets and goals for future years by partnering across our value chain.
Early this year the Jollibee Group launched “Joy for Tomorrow” – our Global Sustainability Agenda which unites our company’s stakeholders towards a set of shared sustainability goals. This is anchored on our belief that ethical and responsible practices are integral to our organization’s values.
Responsible sourcing forms a key part of our sustainability agenda as our mission of serving delicious food to bring the joy of eating to everyone starts with the care that goes into how we source our ingredients.  Through responsible sourcing, which includes animal welfare efforts, we strive to provide our customers the highest quality and safest food offerings.
In this direction, we commit to transition to 100% cage-free eggs in the US by 2025. Globally, we aim for 100% cage-free eggs by 2035 and we will collaborate with suppliers, partners, and industry leaders to achieve this goal. We understand that in some markets cage-free eggs availability is a challenge and we are forming the JFC Poultry Supplier Council to formulate and drive solutions.
We continue to enhance our responsible sourcing strategy globally while maintaining the high standards of good agricultural practices and animal welfare programs across our supply chain. We remain compliant with laws and regulations in the markets where we operate.
By taking these steps, we are ensuring that our mission extends not only to our customers and stakeholders today, but also to future generations.Â
NUTRITION & TRANSPARENCY
Goal
Provide customers with a variety of options, by ensuring that our brands offer meal choices that are in line with JFC’s Global Nutritional Criteria, and the World Health Organization’s dietary guidelines, starting with Jollibee Key markets.
JFC’s Global Nutritional Criteria is measured thru meals that are 750 calories or less. Identified sodium, sugar, and fat reduction initiatives are to be in line with WHO dietary guidelines for adults.
Status
As part of our internal review, we have identified 20 new meals that have a calorie count of 750 or less, which we will begin to offer in key Jollibee Markets in 2023. We are in the process of expanding our scope across our brands globally.
*Covered in the scope are Jollibee Key Markets: Philippines, North America, Vietnam, UK.
In August 29 and 30 2023, the Jollibee brand held training sessions to cascade its Responsible Marketing Policy across all global regions, reaching every marketing team. The policy will undergo regular sharing within the expansive Jollibee marketing community, encompassing marketing teams, creative and media agencies, as well as franchisees. Consistent adherence to this policy remains subject to recurrent review mechanisms.
While the policy covers all Jollibee products in all markets at this time, the scope will be expanded to include other Jollibee Group brands in succeeding years.
