At Tetley we are not only committed to serving you a quality cuppa but committed also to operating our business in a way that supports the people and environment it touches. We’ve set ourselves some big sustainability and environmental goals.
With every Tetley cuppa you drink, you’re supporting us in reaching these goals…
We are committed to removing unnecessary and non-recyclable plastics from all parts of our supply chain. In 2018, Tata Consumer Products, the group behind Tetley, signed up to the UK Plastics Pact, an initiative led and managed by sustainability experts WRAP. The commitment by 2025 is for 100% plastic packaging to be reusable, recyclable or compostable.
We have made great strides in our journey towards being 100% recyclable with much of our packaging and our out-of-home envelopes now meeting this criterion.
We are also making good progress on our commitment to eliminate the use of non-biodegradable materials in our tea bags, so they are compostable through food waste bins.
Look out for fully biodegradable bags across our core black tea ranges later this year.
Helping communities on both a local and global scale is incredibly important to us, that’s why we have invested £1.2m working with partner organisations to enhance the health and livelihoods of neighbourhoods near and far.
Ethical Tea Partnership
As a member of the Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP), you can rest assured that our farmers are provided with support on productivity, yield, and environmental management.
Ensuring estates meet international standards, this programme monitors issues such as pay, working conditions, employment of young people, and health and safety.
Working with multiple charitable organisations, we have been involved in a variety of different projects. From supporting Unicef with an early childhood development programme in Malawi, to more local projects in the UK tackling hunger and food waste in support of FareShare.
Our blends are all 100% Rainforest Alliance certified. It is important to us that all farms we source from meet rigorous environmental and social standards.
We work hard to make environmentally conscious decisions, which is why our UK sites use 100% certified green electricity and contribute zero CO2 emissions.
We're only available on mobile right now.
