OUR ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT

At Artysan Baker, we uphold a steadfast commitment to conducting our business in a manner that champions ethical practices and fosters a sustainable future. Our dedication lies in minimising our environmental footprint while delivering exceptional baking services to our esteemed customers. Rooted in the principles established by our parent company, we have crafted our own set of commitments that underscore our unwavering dedication to ethical and sustainable practices.

Environmental Responsibility

Recognising the paramount importance of safeguarding our planet and conserving its invaluable resources, we pledge to:

Minimize Resource Consumption: We are resolute in our efforts to curtail our usage of natural resources and energy, striving for equilibrium in material consumption to uphold environmental preservation.

Waste Reduction:Actively championing waste reduction through enhanced operational practices and the integration of recycling initiatives wherever feasible, our aim is to minimise waste generation and foster a circular economy.

Responsible Waste Management: Ensuring the safe and responsible disposal of all waste and effluent resulting from our operations, we adhere to stringent waste management practices to safeguard local communities and the environment alike.

Innovation for Sustainability: We invest in the development of pioneering products and processes that exert a positive environmental impact, continuously striving to enhance the sustainability performance of our bakery.

Compliance with Environmental Legislation: Committed to abiding by all pertinent environmental legislation and regulations, our actions uphold the highest standards of environmental responsibility.

Ethical Values

In addition to our environmental endeavours, we adhere to a set of ethical values that govern our interactions with customers, suppliers, employees, and the community at large. These values encompass:

Trust and Integrity: We hold trust and integrity paramount in all our dealings with customers and suppliers, ensuring transparency, openness, and honesty to foster a dependable and trustworthy experience for all.

Employee Well-being: Prioritising the well-being and safety of our staff, we provide them with favourable working conditions and treat them with the utmost respect, embodying the golden rule of treating others as we would wish to be treated.

Community Support: Actively lending support to our community, we extend reduced charges for charitable organisations and students wherever feasible, demonstrating consideration for the environment, our clients, and the broader community in all our business endeavours.

Continuous Improvement: Embracing novel ideas and suggestions for improvement from our stakeholders and the community, we remain receptive to innovative approaches that facilitate positive change and contribute to a brighter future.

Inspired by the Importance of Sustainability

We derive inspiration from the profound significance of sustainability and its transformative impact on our world. Central to our bakery are the tenets of organic farming and zero waste. We take pride in offering a superlative range of Soil Association-certified breads and pastries, advocating for sustainable, regenerative agriculture. By forging close partnerships with our farmers, we strive to disseminate the importance of organically-grown ingredients throughout the wider agricultural landscape.

We firmly believe that environmental stewardship is an inherent facet of our corporate responsibility. Hence, we prioritise ingredient provenance and collaborate with suppliers who share our values and ethos. Every food resource is deemed precious, and we ensure that 100% of our food waste undergoes either recycling or donation to community initiatives.

Moreover, we have established meaningful partnerships with organisations such as The Felix Project and local food banks to redistribute surplus food to those in need, thereby bolstering community support and minimising food wastage. Additionally, we recognise the imperative of renewable energy sources and are resolute in sourcing 100% of our electricity from renewable sources.

Lastly, we take immense pride in our support for the Breadwinners charity, which providees training and employment opportunities to refugees. Through this partnership, we aspire to foster a more inclusive society and provide assistance to those in need.

By selecting Artysan, you can savour delectable baked goods while resting assured that we are steadfastly dedicated to effecting positive change on the environment, championing community support, and upholding ethical values. Let us unite in our pursuit of crafting a future that remains sustainable for generations to come.
