Sustainability

Keeping The World Green

And Our Lettuce Greener

At The Sandwich Company, we believe sustainability isn’t an afterthought – it’s part of how we operate every day. From sourcing and production to delivery and community impact, we’re committed to reducing waste, lowering emissions, and giving back where we can.

Working with Local Suppliers

We prioritise local suppliers to cut down on transport emissions and support the communities we serve.

Reducing Packaging Impact

We prioritise local suppliers to cut down on transport emissions and support the communities we serve.

Waste and Recycling

All food and packaging waste is sent off to be recycled. Inside our facilities, we’ve put systems in place to keep production efficient and wastage to a minimum. Surplus stock never goes to waste – it’s donated daily to charities across the West Midlands, including a weekly delivery to The Good Shepherd homeless charity.

Smarter Deliveries

Our drivers are trained to minimise shop-level wastage, and we use route optimisation to reduce fuel use and lower emissions.

Energy Efficiency

We consistently upgrade our facilities, replacing equipment and lighting with energy-saving alternatives. Staff and drivers also receive training on reducing food and energy waste as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability.
