WHAT SUSTAINABILITY MEANS TO US
To us, sustainability means meeting the needs of today, whilst protecting productivity for the future, safeguarding environmental health, improving livelihoods, and maintaining profitability. We strive to improve all aspects of our business so as to be more sustainable and ultimately achieve our vision. A key part of this is measuring the impact of changes and applying learnings and making improvements ongoing.

Safegaurding our environment
Part of the LEAF Beacons of Excellence for Regenerative Agriculture, we’ve pioneered sustainable farming methods for decades. We have been producing nearly double the amount of electricity than we use since 2010, exporting the excess to the grid. We are part of WRAP’s UK Food And Drink Pact to reduce food waste, cut carbon and protect critical water resources.
Community impact
As part of delivering Barfoots’ vision to build a sustainable vegetable business for the health of future generations, Barfoots endeavours to have a positive impact on the lives and livelihoods of all those touched by the business in the regions where we grow and operate. We do this through focusing on education and career development, promoting health and wellbeing, and environmental development that benefits the community at large.
Ethics
We hold ourselves to very high standards in everything we do and we take great pride in our conduct. This commitment is reflected in the way we work, how we safeguard our people, the projects we invest in and the goals we achieve.
