Committed to sustainability
We take sustainability seriously and review how we operate every year. Our focus is practical. Reduce waste, cut unnecessary resource use, and improve how we source and deliver. The aim is to grow responsibly while lowering our impact across the supply chain.
Our goal
We focus on improvements that make a real difference to how food is sourced, handled and delivered.
Improve our purchasing systems to reduce food waste and minimise environmental impact
Prioritise seasonal British produce where it fits customer needs, supporting responsible UK farms and supply chains
Run our fleet more efficiently through smarter route planning, lower emissions and fewer unnecessary miles

Milestones and Progress
Promote local supply chains
Where it fits customer needs, we prioritise seasonal British produce and work with UK growers and producers. Shorter supply chains improve traceability, reduce transport impact, and support consistent quality from source to kitchen.
Efficient transport
Deliveries are planned using optimised routes to reduce unnecessary miles. This lowers emissions while maintaining reliable service for kitchens across our delivery network.
Digital and paperless
Orders, invoices, and delivery records are handled digitally across our systems. This reduces paper use while improving accuracy, visibility, and day to day efficiency across our operations.
Reusable packaging
We operate a reusable box programme designed to reduce single use packaging. Durable crates protect produce in transit while cutting down on unnecessary waste.
Reduce food waste
Smarter purchasing and tighter stock control allow us to buy closer to real demand. This helps limit surplus, reduce waste, and keep produce moving efficiently through the supply chain.
Lower impact innovation
We continue to test and introduce new approaches, including electric vans and cargo bikes. These trials help reduce environmental impact while keeping service standards consistent.

What's next?
We are continuing to build a smarter and more connected supply model, with better tools, broader ranges and even more reliable service for the kitchens we support every day.
At the same time, sustainability remains central to how we grow. By reducing waste, optimising transport and adopting practical innovation, every improvement in our operation also contributes to a lower impact and more responsible supply chain.
