Corporate & Social Responsibility

At The Original Baker, our CSR efforts are centred on minimising our environmental impact. We focus on sustainable practices, such as reducing waste, conserving energy, and using eco-friendly packaging. Additionally, we collaborate with suppliers who share our sustainability values, ensuring that every part of our process supports a greener future.

Our commitment to operate ethically and sustainably

From locally sourced flour to our red tractor-assured meat, we collaborate closely with trusted suppliers who share our commitment to ethical practices. We carefully select partners who maintain high standards of fairness and responsibility, guaranteeing fair treatment and wages for both farmers and workers alike.

By building strong, transparent relationships with our suppliers, we can be confident that the ingredients we use are not only of the highest quality but also produced in a way that reflects our core values of honesty, respect, and responsibility.

Baking a Greener Future

We are committed to making every aspect of our business as sustainable as possible, including our waste management practices. As a food manufacturer specialising in handmade pastries, pies, and quiches, we generate used cooking oil as a natural byproduct of our production. Instead of treating it as waste, we’ve turned it into an opportunity by partnering with Bio UK Fuels.

Their waste oil collection service allows us to recycle our used cooking oil into biofuels like biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel. This not only helps us reduce our environmental impact but also makes our operations more efficient and sustainable. By adopting a structured recycling program, we’ve reduced disposal costs, minimised waste, and strengthened our commitment to sustainability.

Reducing Waste, Reducing Impact

At The Original Baker, we’re proud to continue our commitment to sustainability by reducing waste and our carbon footprint. Our delivery box collection service is up and running, allowing customers to return used packaging for recycling. This ensures packaging is reused or properly recycled, supporting a circular economy and reducing waste.

By offering this service, we’re furthering our sustainability goals and encouraging responsible disposal practices. We believe every small action counts, and through this initiative, we empower our customers to help make a positive environmental impact.
