Sustainability

We were one of the founding members of Origin Green and the first company to initiate a second five year sustainability plan. Our business ethos centres on producing and delivering quality food a affordable prices in a sustainable manner. A range of initiatives over the years saw us win in the sustainability category in the Bord Bia Food & Drinks awards in 2011. We were then invited to join the Origin Green pilot programme. Our committment to sustainability is reflected in a range of positive actions including the installation of an 800kW wind turbine which provides approximately 50% of our electrical energy needs onsite. We have numerous ongoing initiatives in place to manage water, energy, and waste and social responsibility. We've also introduced many actions to support biodiversity - from the introduction of bee hives, planting pollinator flowers, planting hedgerows and a heritage apple orchard as well as maintaining and developing our wildlife santuary.
