DELIVERING FOOD FOR THOUGHT
It's no secret that every business creates waste, it's what we do with it that sets us apart.
We pride ourselves in operating today to service our customers in a way in which will help protect tomorrow.
300,000
LITRES OF COOKING OIL
We offer customers a waste cooking oil collection
service through a 3rd party partner, Arrow Oils.
The waste oil is processed at one of their purposebuilt depots and then transported to a processing
plant for conversion to biodiesel. In 2019, over
400 customers participated in the scheme.
150 TONNES OF CARDBOARD &
24 TONNES OF PLASTIC RECYCLED
We recycle both our and our customer’s waste plastic and cardboard,
tackling waste throughout the supply chain to help towards our partner
AMC’s aim for 100% diversion from landfill.
CONTRIBUTING TO OUR COMMUNITIES
THE RIDLEY GODFREY FOUNDATION
The Godfrey Family are sixth generation grocers and have been supplying foodservice establishments since 1968.
Over the years they have supported the community through a number of fundraisers, contributions, and events.
The Ridley Godfrey Foundation continues to support local causes and has committed to distributing £250,000
within its current five-year plan.
SUFFOLK’S EMERGENCY
MEDICAL CHARITY
One of the great causes we’ve supported
recently, has been through supplying
a monitor to the SARS - Suffolk’s
Emergency Medical Charity. The advanced
monitoring unit enables procedures
to be carried out at the incident scene
which can sometimes be lifesaving. From
sedation, anaesthesia, and advanced
airway management through to built in
defibrillators, these monitors are incredibly
beneficial when responding to critically
ill or injured patients.
400 SOLAR
PANELS, SAVING
21 TONNES OF CO2
Our main warehouse building
has 400 solar panels fitted to
the roof, reducing the amount
of power required to run our
operations by 34,000Kwh –
40,000Kwh per year.
One unit at a cost of £13,000 each is
distributed to a SARS solo clinician who can
respond to up to 100 incidents each year.
99%
OF OUR WASTE IS DIVERTED
