How we manage our impact

Planet

Our Planet pillar is about all the ways we manage our impact on the environment. This includes tracking the carbon emissions from our own energy usage, as well as from our supply chain and deliveries. It also means keeping a close eye on how much water we use and what we do with our waste.

People

Our squad, our local communities or our customers, our social impact and making a positive difference to people's lives is incredibly important to our value of #GenuineCare and success as a business.

Product

Product is all about working with our suppliers to make sure we do things the right way. That means taking care at every step: sourcing human-quality ingredients, cooking our meals, packing our boxes and getting them to your door.

We want to make sure we are focusing on the things that actually matter and not getting distracted along the way. Not even by squirrels.

Material Impacts

As part of getting re-certified as a B Corp, we ran a thorough check on our environmental and social impacts. It means we can make better decisions and put our resources where they will do the most good.
