Sam Dennigan and Company UC is a wholly owned Irish family business founded in 1976 by Samuel Laurence Dennigan. Today, the company is run by two brothers, Joe and Sam, and has grown to become one of Ireland's leading agribusiness companies with a workforce of over 660 employees. Today's consumers are playing a critical role in creating sustainable food systems. Through its procurement policy, Sam Dennigan's are now sending strong messages to producers, wholesalers, retailers and others in the agri-food system about what it thinks is important and are increasingly assessing its purchases to determine the overall impact upon the environment.
As part of their Origin Green plan, Sam Dennigan and Company UC implemented an Integrated Constructed Wetland on their site. The project aimed to optimise natural biological, chemical and physical processes of pollutant removal in a way that is compatible with local biodiversity.
In an effort to embed sustainability into the heart of their company, Sam Dennigan and Company UC have implemented an employee forum. This gives employees a platform to engage with the company's sustainability targets and make suggestions on how to improve.
