M&S Ireland has achieved Origin Green certification, which recognises the retailer's dedication to sustainable practices across its Irish supply chain.
Origin Green, led by Bord Bia, is Ireland’s national food and drink sustainability programme.
It provides a framework for businesses to measure, monitor, and improve their sustainability performance.
By joining Origin Green, M&S has committed to a five-year sustainability action plan, which will be independently verified annually.
"This achievement demonstrates one of many initiatives we are undertaking to do our part in helping Ireland meet its net zero targets," said Eddie Murphy, Country Director, M&S Ireland and Northern Ireland said.
"We look forward to working with Bord Bia and our Irish suppliers to drive our sustainability commitments forward," he added.
M&S said the Origin Green certification is aligned with its global Plan A strategy and programme, which aims to make the business net zero by 2039/40.
The retailer said it is working with suppliers to reduce carbon emissions, minimise waste, and promote ethical sourcing.
