In a nutshell (or a crisp bag), it’s what we do round ‘ere. And if we’re makin’ more informed choices, taking care of our surroundings, using the right ingredients, and supporting local communities we think it feeds into the quality of Burts snacks.
… that’s why we’ve taken steps to keep it lush
The only footprints we hope to leave are muddy ones! ‘Cos we source as local as possible, lowerin’ our food miles and reducin’ our carbon footprint.
It’s official, our ingredients are traceable, safe, and farmed with care – Red Tractor says so. They’ve also approved our rapeseed oil, it’s 100% UK grown.
Community is everything round ‘ere, and we like to support where we can.
When we’re not in the field, we’re by the water. So, to help raise awareness of the great job the RNLI do we’ve stuck the charity’s brandin’ on bags o’ Burts’ Lightly Sea Salted and Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar 150g and 40g chip packs. The new packagin’ also features the RNLI Float to Live message. We’ve also launched a limited-edition Prawn Cocktail flavour chip. This pack was co-designed by the RNLI and, so far, we’ve raised bags o’ cash for the lifesaving charity. Donate here
For over 3 years we’ve been regularly donatin’ produce that we can’t sell due to it being close to shelf-life date.
We support their big fundraising events such as walk for life, men’s day out and tour de moor – we sponsor them with… you guessed it… chips to give away in their goodie bags.
We support local charities at Christmas, donatin’ gifts to vulnerable children and taking part in local raffles and charity events where we can.
We love a good coffee mornin’.
If our members of staff have signed up to the scheme, the pennies from their monthly pay cheque get donated to the RNLI.
For this homeless charity we’ve looked at how we can recycle chip packet film into heat blankets.
