Committed to sustainability

We take sustainability seriously and review our practices each year to reduce waste, cut unnecessary resource use, and improve how we source and deliver. Our aim is to grow responsibly while protecting natural resources and lowering our impact across the supply chain.

Our goal

Greenhouse with tomatoes

Improve our purchasing systems to reduce food waste and minimise environmental impact.

Prioritise seasonal British produce where it fits your needs, supporting responsible UK farms and supply chains.

Run our fleet efficiently by planning smarter routes, reducing emissions, and lowering the footprint of deliveries.

Milestones and Progress

Background

Lower impact innovation

We continue to test new approaches, including electric vans and cargo bikes, to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the service levels our customers expect.

Background

Promote local supply chains

Where it makes sense, we prioritise seasonal British produce and work with UK growers and producers. Shorter supply chains improve traceability, reduce transport impact, and help maintain consistent quality.

Background

Reduce food waste

Smarter purchasing and tighter stock control help us buy closer to real demand. This reduces surplus, limits waste, and ensures produce moves efficiently through the supply chain.

Background

Efficient transport

Deliveries are planned using optimised routes to reduce unnecessary miles. This lowers emissions while keeping service reliable for kitchens across our delivery network.

Background

Reusable packaging

We operate a reusable box programme that reduces single use packaging. Durable crates keep produce protected while cutting down on waste.

Background

Digital and paperless

Orders, invoices, and delivery records are managed digitally. This reduces paper use and improves accuracy, visibility, and efficiency across our operations.

What's next?

We are continuing to build a smarter, more connected supply model, with better tools, broader ranges, and even more reliable service for the kitchens we support every day.
