Sustainability
How WE do things
We believe in better lives for animals, and better futures for farmers, communities and the environment. Look out for these symbols in store and on packaging.
A HAPPIER world
We think there's a better way to do business.
Farming for Nature
We’ve committed to supporting more than 2,000 British farmers to move to more nature-friendly practices.
FIRST for animal welfare
Find out why we've won more Compassion in World Farming awards than any other supermarket.
Giving BACK
Through the Waitrose Foundation and other initiatives, we're committed to sourcing responsibly, both in the UK and abroad.
We NEVER stop asking questions
Can good values be good value? Can eating in really be as good as dining out? We think so.
ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
If we all only buy what we need, we can reduce food waste, making a big difference to climate change.
The REUSABLE revolution
Our commitment is for all our own-brand packaging to be widely recyclable, reusable or home compostable by 2025. So far, nearly 97% meets that target.
