Sustainability
Nurturing the planet and its inhabitants
At Supreme Petfoods, our commitment to sustainability reflects our core values of protecting animals, people, and the environment. We take pride in making transparent and tangible efforts towards creating a healthier, more sustainable world. Here’s how we’re leading the way in eco-friendly pet care.
Ethical Ingredient Sourcing: Prioritising Local and Vegetarian Choices
Our dedication to sustainability begins with ethical ingredient sourcing. We prioritise local suppliers to minimise transportation distances wherever possible and reduce our carbon footprint. By sourcing near to our Suffolk headquarters wherever we can, we not only support local businesses but also ensure high standards of quality for our products.
Our ingredient choices are largely vegetarian, and for our dog range, we ensure that any meat is sourced responsibly to meet high sustainability standards. Supreme Petfoods is committed to meat-free diets for rabbits and other herbivores, with our ferret food and dog food produced separately to maintain this distinction.
Eco-Friendly Packaging: Reducing Waste, One Bag at a Time
At Supreme Petfoods, we strive to minimise our environmental impact by prioritising eco-friendly packaging. Currently, over 95% of our product range features fully recyclable packaging, and we are on track to achieve 100% recyclability. We actively encourage customers to recycle at local centres, pet stores, and supermarkets, contributing to a circular economy.
Recycling doesn’t just reduce waste — it offers a second life for materials, allowing plastic to be transformed into sustainable products like clothing and carpets. Our commitment to recyclability reflects our ongoing efforts
Reducing Transport Miles: Minimising Our Carbon Footprint
We are focused on reducing transport miles as part of our sustainability plan. In 2023, we set a goal to cut transport miles by 100,000 per year by the end of 2024, and we are on track to exceed this target with an anticipated reduction of 150,000 road miles. Our collaboration with industry leaders helps us optimise truck space, reduce re-delivery miles, and lower pallet consumption, contributing to a more efficient and eco-friendly supply chain.
Palm Oil-Free Products: Protecting Rainforests and Wildlife
Supreme Petfoods proudly offers a product line that is completely palm oil-free. This decision reflects our commitment to protecting endangered species like orangutans and preserving rainforests. By eliminating palm oil from our products, we actively contribute to the fight against deforestation and climate change, promoting a more sustainable future.
Supporting Communities and Biodiversity
Our sustainability efforts extend beyond our products. Supreme Petfoods supports biodiversity and conservation through partnerships with organisations like Jimmy’s Farm, a member of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. We also donate products to rescue centres globally, helping pets in need and promoting animal welfare.
We engage with local communities by supporting initiatives that share our sustainability values, ensuring that our efforts positively impact both people and the planet.
A Future Focused on Sustainability
Supreme Petfoods remains dedicated to sustainable practices as we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of pet care. We believe in the interconnectedness of all living beings and strive to make decisions that benefit the planet and its inhabitants. Join us on our journey towards a more sustainable and compassionate future.
