Key Sustainability Commitments
Committed to Responsible Sourcing: Cully & Sully are committed to using clean ingredients in all products and monitor all raw materials on a regular basis. In 2018, they removed palm oil from all products. They have put in place a target of 50% reduction in landfill waste over the next 5 years and are already on target for another 15% reduction.
Reducing Our Environmental Impact:
Cully & Sully continuously engage with the community by volunteering their time and offering financial donations to charities and sporting events. From 2016-2019 we have teamed up with GIY (Grow It Yourself) to create an annual community campaign and competition to foster a spirit of good eating and food entrepreneurship, both in schools and the greater community.
Promoting Biodiversity:
Within biodiversity, Cully & Sully are working closely with their packaging manufacturers on recycling and repurposing of their packaging Origin Green is a sustainability development programme for Irish food, drink and horticulture producers.
