Our Ethics
Protecting the environment is a very important issue to us and we’re constantly reviewing the different ways we can reduce our footprint through waste reduction and recycling.
From sourcing through to production and paper cup recovery, we’re dedicated to having a positive social and environmental impact through the initiatives we lead.
Plastic Reduction
REUSABLE CUPS
We grew our existing partnership with KeepCup in June 2018, to ensure KeepCups are available in every single store.
KeepCups are manufactured and assembled in the UK, so we’re thinking global, but acting local.
We also encourage the use of reusable cups by offering 2 stamps per coffee on our loyalty card or via our app .
PAPER CUP RECOVERY
Responsible management of paper cups is very important to us and we will continue to work with our waste service providers, our customers and others in our industry to ensure the proactive focus on the issue is maintained. We’re passionate about the environment and are founders of the PCRRG (The Paper Cup Recovery and Recycling Group) set up in 2014.
This is a cross industry group which actively works across the paper cup supply chain to increase the rates of capture and recycling of paper goods.

Modern Slavery Statement
In response to the Modern Slavery Act, we engaged with an external consultancy to better understand our potential exposure to modern slavery risks in our direct business and supply chain. For each business area, we reviewed factors such as recruitment practices, working conditions and geographical location.
We are using this information to determine and prioritise practical and robust actions that ensure we always operate in an ethical manner.
Ethical Farming
Sustainable Sourcing
From the beginning, we’ve embraced the values of fairness, decency, warmth and kindness in the pursuit of excellence. Our approach to coffee sourcing is no different.
If we’re to continue to create excellent coffee, we need to ensure our farmers are fairly rewarded. We owe our reputation to sourcing high quality beans, and we pay premium prices for those beans.
The vast majority of the beans in our unique blend are sourced from identifiable and traceable sources, and we’re working hard to ensure we purchase every bean this way.
We’re also working with the Rainforest Alliance on the certification of our beans and on encouraging sustainable livelihoods for our farmers, taking responsibility not just for great coffee, but supporting communities and the environment where our coffee is grown.

Fat, salt and sugar reduction
Product Improvements
Our development team constantly reacts and adapts, looking to where we can reduce salt, fat, sugar, or offer alternative products in response to allergies and the valuable feedback of our customers.
The whole eggs used in our savoury range of products are 100% free-range and we are committed to ensuring that all our “own brand” products will contain cage-free eggs by 2021.
