making progress
Over the last year we have worked hard to reduce our utilities consumption!*
electricity reduction
water reduction
*2020 versus 2021: Percentage consumption versus number of products produced.
In the coming months we will be exploring how we can reduce our natural gas consumption.
why it matters
We are continuously working to reduce our impact on the environment!
Minimising our impact on the environment is a priority here at Freshways. It’s all about reduction.
We’re reducing the energy, gas, water and electricity used in our food production. We’re reducing our waste. And we’re reducing the plastic used in our packaging.
We’re also trying to be as innovative with our environmental solutions as we are with our food: we now have our own well here at Sandwich HQ which means we don’t need
to rely on the County Council water supply. We are also investigating how we can harvest rainwater to flush toilets.
When it comes to sustainability we are doing well and working hard to do even better into the future.
