Helping to create a sustainable environment

At Ginsters, we recognise the importance of sustainability and the responsibility to act upon this. Our three priorities involve using sustainable palm oil, single and broader plastic reduction and food waste reduction. We treat each one of these with the importance they deserve and are integral in our vision for a sustainable future

We will campaign for the use of ‘segregated certified’ palm oil

We only use ‘segregated certified’ palm oil that can be traced to the plantation. We demand all other makers of pastry products commit to using ‘segregated certified’ palm oil. We continually review our sourcing policy considering emerging environment concerns.
