SMALL CHANGES ADD UP
to Make a big Difference
VEGAN FOR THE PLANET
In 2016, a study from the University of Oxford found that if the world went vegan, it could save 8 million human lives by 2050, reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture by two-thirds and lead to healthcare-related savings and avoid climate damages of $1.5 trillion.
Lower carbon emissions, no cruelty, less land used for grazing and more land available for rewilding. If your treat tastes the same (or better!), why not?
Through choosing our cookies and chocolate, you've collectively saved 172,000kg of CO2* in 2021!
WHY ORGANIC
Intensive industrial agriculture has become one of the biggest causes of ‘unhealthy soil’ – or soil degradation – and it has become one of the most unsustainable practices of modern civilization. According to Louise Baker, the external relations head of the UN body for desertification: “Industrial agriculture is good at feeding populations but it is not sustainable. It’s like an extractive industry.” She said the fact that a third of land is now degraded should prompt more urgent action to address the problem.
By contrast, the purpose of organic farming is to support a healthy soil. This is so fundamental to our entire food system in the long run – without it, we couldn’t have the diversity of food we need to maintain our health and or the quantity we need to survive.
Our philosophy has always been to support growers who have our health in mind and that of our planet. We will never compromise on that. To know more about how organic farmers contribute to a healthy planet, read more below.
RESPONSIBLE COCOA
We work with cooperatives in Peru and the Dominican Republic to source our cocoa for our chocolate. Watch this space for the personal stories of our farmers and our sustainability report coming soon.
Become a plastic-free pioneer
We know plastic is a problem. It’s ending up in our oceans. Polluting our land. And we, as a business, want to make sure we are a part of the solution. We believe that composting is one of the most environmentally friendly solutions.
We use a combination of paper and readily biodegradable cellulose to wrap our biscuits and cookies in fully plastic-free packaging. Every detail from the inks to the adhesives used, is in line with compostable guidelines that allow our wrappers to decompose under the right conditions in a compost bin within 8-10 weeks.
We were one of the first companies to work with compostable materials in the food sector in 2016, and our packaging even won the Silver Medal in the Bio-Based category of the Sustainability Awards in 2017.
We’re on a mission to make composting more accessible and exciting! Check out more about our plastic-free packaging and our composting guides below.
COMMUNITY
Our local community is important to us. From donating products, to working with social enterprises, and volunteering our time, we believe we can make a difference.
