Glebe Farm Foods is pleased to announce it has secured Ethical Accreditation from The GOOD Shopping Guide for its PureOaty range of sustainable, gluten free oat drinks and breakfast cereals. This recognition also secures Glebe Farm Foods a place on the prestigious Top 200 Ethical Businesses list, underscoring the company’s commitment to responsible business practices.
The GOOD Shopping Guide serves as a trusted resource for consumers seeking to make informed ethical purchasing decisions. The organisation provides ratings and accreditations based on companies’ ethical and sustainable business practices, endorsing only those businesses that demonstrate genuine commitment to these values.
Following a thorough assessment of Glebe Farm Foods’ operations, PureOaty was awarded the coveted Ethical Innovator status for achieving a perfect score across all evaluation criteria and establishing new industry standards within the Ethical Vegan Milk and Breakfast Cereal Ratings Tables.
Glebe Farm Foods embraces regenerative and sustainable farming practices, including crop rotation, minimal use of chemical inputs, and initiatives to promote soil health and biodiversity. These methods work in tandem with its on-site renewable energy infrastructure to reduce overall environmental impact.
The company’s localised production model – growing oats on its family run farm or sourcing them from within a 70-mile radius, and packing just 150 metres from the fields – also minimises transportation emissions and keeps food miles low.
This commitment to sustainability has led to Glebe Farm Foods’ award-winning PureOaty gluten free oat drink achieving the market’s lowest carbon footprint of just 0.26kg CO2e per litre[1].
Speaking on the news, Philip Rayner, MD and Co-founder – Glebe Farm Foods: “This accreditation validates everything we stand for as a family business. We’ve proven that you can produce quality oat products while maintaining the highest ethical standards and the lowest environmental impact. I’m so proud that our farm-to-pack approach is establishing the gold standard for sustainable practices across the entire industry.”
Kat Alexander – Director, The GOOD Shopping Guide, concludes: “The GOOD Shopping Guide is delighted to give its full endorsement to Glebe Farm Foods’ PureOaty with Ethical Accreditation, following a detailed ethical screening of the company’s policies and practices. Their commitment to sustainability, from regenerative farming and low-carbon manufacturing to 100% British-grown gluten free oats, sets a powerful example for the industry.
“PureOaty’s top-ranking scores in The GOOD Shopping Guide’s Vegan Milks and Breakfast Cereals Ethical Ratings tables reflect their dedication to ethical innovation and environmental responsibility. We’re proud to recognise PureOaty as one of the UK’s most ethical brands.”
