Sustainability
Going green is in our genes
Our belief is also in our actions as we strive to make our business more sustainable.
This is demonstrated in many ways:
- Our use of local suppliers so have a low food miles
- We work with many suppliers who have sustainable values, such as zero plastic packaging, paper pulp packaging for transporting goods and zero plam oil
- We check out our suppliers and choose to work with companies that are B Corp businesses
- We only order small quantities of fresh produce so we have minimal waste. Any unsold perishable food is given away rather than go in waste.
- We train our staff in the importance of waste management from food to packaging.
- We use paper bags in store which can be recycled
- We have rearranged our store so we only have eco fridges which have doors so we have reduced our electricity consumption by 300%
- Our new preloved clothes shop , The Clothes Circle located on the first floor is all about slow fashion and sustainable fashion.
- We sell compostable growing pots, to encourage people to grow salads at home in a sustainable way.
