We do Good Things with
Great Food
As a family business established in 1896, we think in generational terms. But long-term thinking must not mean that we’re slow to change. The climate, social and environmental pressures that are having such an obvious impact, and which are challenging the whole food system, demand action now.
At Samworth Brothers, we’re known for our commitment to doing the right thing. We are a Responsible Business, and we think and act for the long term – supporting people, a healthy planet and products that we’re proud of. To stay true to our purpose, we need to decarbonise our supply chains and operations, deliver healthier and more sustainable choices for our consumers, support the growth of our people, care for communities, protect vital resources and reduce our food waste. Our Responsible Business Plan, “Making GOOD things happen” identifies our priorities and shapes the positive impacts we can have.
We think of our Responsible Business Plan as a pie, with Samworth Brothers’ purpose at the heart and three connected ingredients: people, planet and products that frame how we’ll achieve our goals.
Responsible Business factsheets

Carbon
We must cut our carbon emissions significantly to help avoid the worst effects of climate change….

FOOD WASTE & SURPLUS
It takes a lot of land, energy and water to produce food, so when food is wasted, these resources are also wasted….

RESPONSIBLE SOURCING & HUMAN RIGHTS
Supply chains are complex, and we source from suppliers around the world.

Packaging
We need to reduce the impact of our packaging as part of being a responsible business.

HEALTHY & SUSTAINABLE DIETS
We want our products to taste great, but also be better for people and the planet too.

People & community
We understand that by supporting people, we’re helping our colleagues and communities to unlock their potential and help build a better future for everyone.
