Climate action measures
Respectful: Eggs that won’t cost the EarthFrom farm to shelf, we’ve made a commitment to our planet and pledged to reduce our carbon foodprint, producing the UK’s first carbon neutral egg. Revolutionising the way we think about food and our planet. Climate change is one of the defining issues of our times, so Respectful farmers tread lightly on our land, seeking to nourish and protect the environment. Learn more
Eco Friendly HensOur wholesome, white-feathered hens are instinctively environmentally minded and super-efficient birds. They are significantly more productive than standard brown birds, and not too demanding. As a result, they naturally lower their carbon footprint – just by being themselves. They have a smaller appetite than their brown-feathered friends, meaning they make a smaller impact on our planet in terms of carbon emissions required to produce their feed. Learn more
Local, soy-free feedWe are so proud to say that we are doing something rather extraordinary when it comes to feeding our wholesome hens. We have completely removed soya from their feed and replaced with homegrown, nutritious field beans from our farm, making a staggering 50% reduction in CO2 emissions alone versus a standard brown laying bird on a soya diet. Soya is also intrinsically linked to deforestation and comes at a huge cost to the Amazon rainforest. Learn more
Renewable EnergyWe care about clean energy at Respectful. Both our farm and our packing centre use renewable energy from our own solar array. We’ve mounted solar panels across our farm, including on the roofs of hen houses and sheds, to soak up the glorious rays. We recognise it’s a difficult ‘weather dependent’ journey, but we’re taking important steps in the right direction. Learn more
