Our Sustainability Story

At Whittard, we believe that exceptional taste should never come at the cost of the planet or the people who help bring our products to life. That's why we're proud to partner with the Ethical Tea Partnership, working to improve the lives of tea workers and ensure sustainable farming practices across the supply chain.

Ethical sourcing sits at the heart of what we do, from the growers we work with to the way we package and deliver our products. We're committed to reducing our environmental footprint, with initiatives like Podback, which gives customers a simple way to recycle their used coffee pods responsibly.

Our journey to becoming a more sustainable business is ongoing and we're always looking for people who share our passion for doing things the right way, not the easy way.
