Anderton’s Butchers launch their own Ribble Valley Green Initiative!

With the prime minister declaring war on plastic yesterday, we at Anderton’s have decided it is time for us to step up and be counted as we all look to move to a greener ecological future. Within our own company we will look to change for the better, by introducing targets and steps along with using our influence within the local community to help other smaller business’s turn green.

Within the Ribble Valley Green Initiative, Anderton’s Butchers will look to; –

• Switch all our energy use to renewable energy sources.
• Introduce a Hybrid – Electric transportation fleet and look to reduce the amount of diesel vehicles we currently use.
• Ban the use of single use plastics where possible from all our sites within the Ribble Valley.
• Support national and international conservation charities by taking part and offering support at charitable events.
• Use our influence in the local community to help other small business turn green!
• Use our influence on a national scale through the likes of the Institute of Meat and the Q Guild to help our peers turn green!
• Continue to be a responsible supplier only sourcing ethically produced meat. Simply put, we only use animals that have been given the opportunity to act out their natural tendencies in a way that did not over-deplete resources but contributed to natural cycles, that have been cared for, not neglected and have endured very little stress.

We will be posting updates from our Ribble Valley Green Initiative as soon as progress has been made or along with any events we participate in.
