Our sponsor: Thornton's Budgens

Thornton's Budgens really believe that food stores should be a central part of our community, just as food is such a central part of our lives. For us, being a more sustainable retailer involves embracing your community and being environmentally aware. As a Food Retailer, it about re-connecting people with food, with how its produced and grown and the people who produce it.

This approach has lead us to:

Support local food producers - we now have 25+ suppliers from London, many from our boroughs of Camden and Haringey
Be the only supermarket in the world to grow its own fruit and veg on its roof, through Food from the Sky
Be the first supermarket to stop giving away free carrier bags; we pledged to give everything we saved away to local charities and community groups; so far we have donated around £100,000 and saved 10m carrier bags
Be one of the first retailers to put doors on all our chillers to reduce our carbon footprint. We signed up for 10:10, overachieved that target and are aiming for an almost 20% carbon footprint reduction in 2011
Have a community stall outside both stores that small food producers or growers can rent to sell their products (after the co-ordinator paid, all revenue goes to charity)

Our support for the Ecocide trial is driven by our desire for a more sustainable future.
