Sustainability

Supply Chain Sustainability

We are committed to ensuring that all our birds experience the best conditions possible and we work closely with our farmers to support them in providing the best welfare for our birds.

We actively seek to reduce our carbon footprint throughout our supply chain starting from our farms to production, processing and distribution by utilising state-of-the-art energy efficient technologies and through green initiatives such as tree planting and solar panels.

Putting People First

Health, Safety and Welfare Matters

At CPL, the health and safety of our team members is paramount. Our dedicated team works collaboratively to maintain the highest levels of health and safety standards, engaging everyone in the workplace. Through comprehensive training, our managers are equipped to effectively manage risks in their respective areas.

Sustainable Agriculture

Our Journey from Farm to Fork

All our poultry is fully traceable from pack on the store shelf, right back to the breeder flock from where the chicks came. Our chicken farmers are part of a number of independent assurance schemes such as Red Tractor Assured Chicken Scheme.

In order to maintain and ensure consumer safety and global food safety and security, we are committed to supporting our farmers, through ongoing training, education and personal development.

We have a dedicated team which visit our farmers to ensure compliance against our high standards, they support our farmers daily ensuring all our chicken is consistently of a high quality to meet our customer requirements.

Ensuring Food Safety

Campylobacter Control

At CPL, we recognise the significance of maintaining a robust campylobacter reduction programme to guarantee food safety. We have implemented several strategies to minimise its incidence throughout our production process. Rigorous hygiene checks for crates and vehicles, stress prevention procedures during transport and catching, and effective washing and chilling processes all contribute to reducing Campylobacter levels in our finished poultry products. By combining these strategies, we uphold the highest standards of food safety for our valued customers.

Minimising Environmental Impact

Odour Management and Waste Control

At CPL, we understand the importance of managing odour release and waste control to protect the environment. Our comprehensive measures for odour prevention, management, and mitigation ensure minimal impact on the surrounding areas. All waste generated at our facility is legally removed by licensed third-party waste companies. We closely monitor our waste control systems to ensure compliance with UK regulations.
