Throughout the month of June we will be celebrating Peabody’s commitments around social responsibility and sustainability. It is no secret that the key characteristics of what we do at Peabodys are built on the ethos and beliefs we have felt strongly about since opening our first coffee bar within the NHS back in 1997.
We have worked tirelessly to create a company that works hard to help protect our environment, source ethically and care for our wonderful team.
Our pledge to help protect our environment and the world around us through choices we make as a business is evident in many ways at Peabodys. We are proud to share what we do in the hopes that it can inform and encourage others to do the same.
We are against single use plastic and use completely plastic free coffee cups (and lids!). We take great pride in our reusable cup scheme across all our bars. Coffee waste at Peabodys is recycled as organic fertiliser, which is full of nutrients and goodness for growing gardens and plants. We work hard to ensure that we have no food waste and promote a very very popular meat free Monday!
Our team is the cornerstone of what we do and we are delighted to support staff development through our flexible working schemes and encouragement of further education opportunities. We are dedicated to creating a workplace that celebrates diversity and inclusion. We want to do our part in helping to build a more equitable world.
Enhanced ethical sourcing is an incredibly important part of what we do at Peabodys. Our coffee is delicious and hugely popular with customers who visit all our sites. But its credentials are even better!
We source a high quality organic, fair-trade blend that supports the lives of coffee farming communities in South Africa, Congo and Latin America. Our supply partner of many years holds the same values as ours and we are delighted to continue to make a difference in this area.
Across the company our sourcing of local products helps to reduce our carbon footprint and it also means we are supporting small businesses.
This month you will hear about all of these important elements that help to define Peabody’s as unique and trailblazing in all that we do.
We are always keen to hear what our customers think and any ideas or thoughts you have that can help us deliver a better service.
