Greggs pledges to use only Fairtrade chocolate in its products
The move is part of the company’s sustainability plan, dubbed the ‘Greggs Pledge’.
Greggs has pledged to use 100% Fairtrade chocolate in all of its chocolate products sold in its stores.
The bakery giant is slated to source their chocolate ingredients from Fairtrade accredited suppliers by the end of 2021.
The move is part of the company’s sustainability plan, dubbed the ‘Greggs Pledge’, which was launched in February. In the pledge, Greggs committed to having a robust responsible sourcing strategy by 2025.
“We are proud to have continued to increase our Fairtrade commitments over time, which include coffee beans, apple juice, orange juice, sugar sticks, sugar syrup, hot chocolate, black tea, mint tea, green tea, bananas and now chocolate,” said Malcolm Copland, commercial director at Greggs.
