We work with carbon footprinting expert Professor Mike Berners-Lee and his team at Small World Consulting, to measure our carbon footprint and identify the most sustainable ways to reduce it. Through rigorous assessment of our Scope 1, 2 and 3 (upstream) they estimated that last year we released 7,308 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2020 we committed to reduce our carbon intensity per litre of ice cream by 43% by 2030, and so far we have reduced it by 21%!  We achieved this by comprehensively reviewing everything we do as a business and proactively identifying ways to reduce carbon.  For example, we've installed solar panels at our Twyford ice cream factory and 36% of our retail range is now plant based.

Impact Report Highlights:

• We reduced our carbon intensity by 21% from our 2020 baseline (this is a measure of the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere per litre of ice cream).
• 75% of products launched in the past 12 months were plant based.
• Our plant based ice cream uses up to 80% less land to produce than our dairy ice cream and emits 47% less carbon.
• We've invested in solar power, with solar panels on our ice cream factory roof and have the UK's walk in freezer with solar panels.
• We are a certified BCorp which means we’re committed to using business as a force for good; for our people, our community and our planet.
