Sustainable For Generations
Our Commitment To Healthier Soils By 2032
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.
We are delighted to say that we have now been presented with the King's Award For Sustainable Development.
Plastics & Packaging
All our packaging is either recyclable or compostable. We aim to include recycled content in all our packaging, reducing plastic packaging weight and, where possible, transitioning to paper alternatives.
Carbon Footprint
We measure our carbon footprint annually, working towards net-zero by 2032. Last year, our market-based emissions reduced by 3.8%.
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.
Measuring Our Impact
Read Our Impact Report
Every year we create an Impact Report to transparently report on everything we do as a business for our community and the planet.
Local Focus
More than 60% of our team live locally and travel to work on foot or by bike. Similarly, 60% of our customers and suppliers are located within 30 miles, reinforcing our commitment to our local community.
We partner with local farmer John Prior who provides the wheat for our Organic Wild White Sourdough, grown just 10 miles from our bakery.
Apprenticeships & Education
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.
B Corp
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.
Community Impact
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.
Circular Economy & Food Waste
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.
Supplier Relationships
Learn More About Our Suppliers
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.
