- We generate over 50% of our ELECTRICITY ourselves through a 216
panel 50kw Photo Voltaic system which we have installed on our
roof. We source the remainder of our electricity from 100%
renewable sources
- We use LED LIGHTING within our Kitchens that emulates natural
daylight conditions: bringing our electricity consumption to
around 25% of typical lighting systems, as well as
contributing towards an excellent working environment for
our staff
- The GAS SUPPLY to our ovens is modified by gas savers
- Our WATER is heated mainly by warm air recovered from our
fridge compressors, while the ambient heating in our kitchen
is supplemented by heat recovered from our cooling room
- We use the minimum PACKAGING to achieve the most robust job.
All our boxes are made from 80% recycled cardboard and are
100% recyclable
- And where cakes are, of necessity, wrapped in transparent film,
plant-derived CELLOPHANE is used as a natural alternative to
the more standard polypropylene
- All materials we use for CLEANING are derived from plants. They
are quickly biodegradable, have a minimal impact on aquatic
life and are produced within an ecologically designed
factory
- After we have taken every measure we can to REDUCE our
CARBON FOOTPRINT, we OFFSET our remaining footprint
(representing transport and site energy usage) through
contributing to the funding of a project that exists
specifically to reduce Carbon emissions in Nicaragua.
