Bubble Food is committed to operating ethically and responsibly at all times, continually keeping abreast of current developments and striving to set the standard for best practice within the food industry. Outlined below is a summary of the key points from Bubble Food’s Corporate and Social Responsibility Policy:
Responsible food sources
We insist on using Fairtrade products wherever this is feasible, this includes our range of coffees, teas, juices and certain fruits
We only use free-range eggs (and, on request, free-range poultry/meat) in our kitchens and have done so for many years
Bubble Food trades locally, buys locally and wherever feasible, will use locally
sourced produce in favour of using imports - we enjoy a strong sense of local community and firmly believe in the practice of good neighbours
Our seafood comes from sustainable sources and is as local as geographically possible
We ensure that animal food products are sourced from livestock production systems that comply with national regulatory standards and the international standards being developed by the World Organisation for Animal Health as they emerge.
Diverse and healthy food offer
We insist on using fresh, seasonal produce rather than processed or prepacked frozen foods
We offer organic as an option on almost all of our menu dishes
We always offer vegetarian, vegan and special dietary alternatives (ie. allergies, cultural/religious options)
We ensure that foods offered to consumers are prepared with the minimum amount of additives, including salt and sugar, and are working towards providing more information for the consumer on additive content (as currently done for nuts)
We can provide appropriate menu information and food offerings to consumers so that they can make choices based on food provenance and sustainability.
Environmental responsibilities
Bubble Food remains committed to reducing energy consumption, minimising waste and water consumption. We do not waste food where we can avoid it and we never order more than we know we need
Bubble Food operates a recycling policy and wherever possible this is enforced on location and in line with local government guidelines
Every effort is made, where possible, to ensure that all packaging and
disposables are biodegradable, made from recycled substances and/or from sustainable sources
Bubble Food is continuing to reduce its carbon footprint as much as possible.
Staff
We are 100% committed to ensuring the well-being of every employee in our workforce, and recognise the importance of family and personal commitments
Bubble Food is passionate about equal opportunities, and offers a high level of support to our multi-cultural and diverse team
We know how vital it is to have a strong and happy team and regularly hold team meetings and other team-building activities
Bubble Food ensures that all its staff receive appropriate training and are suitably equipped to undertake their roles in a safe and efficient manner at all times.
Charitable Involvement
Bubble Food is committed to, and actively supports, a number of local, national and international charities. In recent months, we have provided events at minimal or no cost for both Start Life and the Teenage Cancer Trust in addition to regular support to our company charities and have been involved with the Terence Higgins Trust Supper Club which has been running for a number of years.
Bubble Food believes that it has a duty to help as when and where we can and is committed to continuing this throughout 2011 and beyond.
