By working alongside the Carbon Trust, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint. Our new, modern warehouse facility is partly powered by wind turbine and combined with its insulation properties enables us to reduce our overall CO2 emissions. We have been recycling our waste for many years now, but by working in conjunction with our suppliers, packaging is constantly being reduced. Our food delivery miles are also kept to a minimum due to our close proximity to our London marketplace. We have also updated our fleet of trucks to comply with Euro 4 ratings which has reduced emissions substantially. We are currently researching the possibility of producing our own bio fuel by collecting used vegetable oil from our customers to recycle. We operate the government ride-to-work scheme for all our staff and our pool car has stop-start technology, which means emissions are below 110g/km making it exempt from road tax.
We are committed to supplying our customers with a range of organic and fair-trade products. Where possible, we also offer products from sustainable sources.
