Tea is often grown in well-established monocultures ranging from large estates to smallholder farms, requiring fertiliser and pesticide use.

While the use of these is already heavily regulated, there is still the potential for them to harm the environment and soil, and by extension, wildlife and biodiversity.

What we’re doing

We’re taking steps to reduce our impact on the environment and prioritising the areas where nature might be under pressure in the places we source from.

We will work with partners and the people who grow our ingredients to help protect biodiversity and care for precious resources like soil and water.

We are currently carrying out a detailed analysis to better understand the impact our operations and sourcing regions have on biodiversity, water and pollution and, in turn, the extent to which our business and supply chain depend on nature.

Our next step will be to use tools and work with partners to assess any risks or opportunities in specific regions and sites, such as areas of high biodiversity near our tea suppliers’ estates. Findings from this work will help shape our future plans.
