We are committed to sourcing all our flour from healthier soils by 2032. Recognising the urgent need to reform our food systems, partnering with organic and regenerative farmers to support soil health and biodiversity.
All our packaging is either recyclable or compostable. We continue to minimise plastic use by reducing packaging weight and, where possible, transitioning to paper alternatives.
Our latest carbon audit shows a 22% reduction. We have installed solar panels at our bakery, generating 25% of our energy needs, and use this renewable energy to power our four electric vans.
Every year we create an Impact Report to transparently report on everything we do as a business for our community and the planet.
We have relaunched our apprenticeship programme, training 16 apprentices to date, and have introduced hundreds of local school children to baking through our Cookery School and "Adopt a School" initiatives.
As the UK’s first B Corporation-certified bakery in 2019, we are proud to have improved our recertification score by 13.4% in 2022, reflecting our commitment to the highest standards of social and environmental performance.
We believe that good bread should be shared. Each week, we donate 250 loaves to local charities including FareShare, The Matthew Tree Project, and Family Food for Free. Through our partnership with Ifakara Bakery in Tanzania, we have donated over 100,000 loaves through our ‘buy one, give one’ initiative.
No bread goes to landfill. Surplus bread is redistributed to charities, used for animal feed, or sometimes even repurposed into beer, supporting a fully circular economy.
We are proud to partner with local suppliers such as Shipton Mill, located just 15 miles from our bakery. Wherever possible, we continue to source our ingredients and materials locally.
