Our Environmental Policy

At Redwood we are dedicated to producing delicious healthy alternatives to meat, fish and dairy products. In so doing we have a duty of care to people, animals and the environment. We recognise that in our day to day activities we inevitably have an impact on the environment and wish to minimise the effect of our activity whenever and wherever possible

Redwood Wholefoods is committed to continuous improvements in environmental performance and the prevention of pollution. In so doing we will regard environmental regulations, laws and codes of practice as setting the minimum standards of environmental performance. We will implement our policies through a coordinated environmental management system


Redwood and palm oil

At Redwood, we care passionately about people, the environment and animals.  And we know you do too. That’s why we only use palm oil from carefully selected approved suppliers in Malaysia who operate on a sustainable basis. We do not, and never will, buy palm oil based products from suppliers who do not meet our criteria for environmentally responsible oil palm cultivation


Energy Use

“We will use environmentally safe and sustainable energy sources to meet our needs and will invest in the improved energy efficiency of the products we sell”.


Product Responsibility

“We will consider the environmental impact of our products at all stages, from design to final customer use and disposal”.


Resource Consumption

“We will seek to address the impact on the environment through the adaptation of a sustainable procurement policy and aim to source ingredients and materials locally whenever possible. We will conserve resources though efficient use and careful planning and working with our suppliers”.


Recycling

“We recognise the need to use recycled and recyclable materials whenever possible and subscribe to a policy of sustainable waste management”.


Waste disposal

“We will seek to minimise waste and whenever possible recycle materials. We will dispose of waste through safe and responsible methods”.


Transport

“Through coordinating route planning and delivery schedules we will seek to reduce both fuel consumption and exhaust emissions”.


Audit

“We will conduct an annual self-evaluation of our performance in implementing these principals and in complying with all applicable laws and regulations”.

The ethical, scientific and safety bases for the development of gene manipulation in the company's opinion is yet to be proven. Accordingly, Redwood - as a company making foods in the healthy eating arena - has approached the whole issue from the standpoint of not using GMOs in its products. This has led to reformulation where necessary and the need to re-source certain soya products with a certifiable provenance. The company has now completed this task. It is, and will remain, the company policy not to supply products with GMOs.

Subject: cheezly cheese and no more wheeze

Dear persons who manufacture cheezly pretend cheese

I am an asthmatic person and find dairy makes me wheeze a lot.  I avoid it not in the "oooh, I'd better not eat dairy/wheat/eggs/anything at all
  so I can lose weight or because I read it in a book" manner, but because, quite literally, cheese messes up my breathing.  Pizza is my worst enemy, on account of the phenomenal levels of dairy involved, and half an hour after eating it I'd have my face stapled to my inhaler and be really annoyed that I'd been so daft as to touch the stuff again.

Then once upon a time last year I was with a colleague visiting a health exhibition and there was a stall with soya cheese on it.  Firmly of the opinion that all soya cheese tastes like cardboard, I tried some anyway.
How wrong I had been!  You persons make soya cheese (cheeze?) that does not taste of cardboard - I salute you.

My favourite is Nacho flavour, second is the one with the berries in.
Now I can have cheese and pickle sandwiches (and everything else) like a normal person.  I would just like to say... Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum ...YUM!

Yours faithfully

Hello!

I recently tried your new 'SUPERmelting' Cheezly and i just cannot thank you enough! It is TRULY FANTASTIC!!

Mmmmmmm....mmmelty...Phwooaaarr!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BEST INVENTION OCCURING IN MY LIFETIME (sofar)! Now you have perfected cheeze, I recommend that you move on to try the chocolate donut with chocolate filling. But then maybe not, as I would become a right heifer.

Kind regards and lots of love to you clever people! - Jo Thompson, via e-mail

 


Recently tried your Celebration Roast for the first time and think it's fantastic - hope its available all year. Also love the Vegi Deli Sage & Onion slices - great consistency & flavour and the Fish style fingers - brilliant! - Stefanie Nield, via e-mail

 


I ordered some food from you on the afternoon of Monday 22nd December, and the food was delivered Christmas Eve. Thank you very much for a brilliant service. All the items that I ordered were there and they all had great 'use by' dates on them, which when shopping on the internet at big supermarkets does not happen. Thank you once again. I will be shopping with you again on the internet and I will also be recommending you to my friends and family. Its so refreshing to get a brilliant service from a company. - Helen Toplis, via e-mail

I just wanted to let you know that my husband and I think your products are fantastic! When I first spotted your new brand of cheese, I thought I'd give it a try...

My wife and I went to London for our honeymoon and fondly remember the best vegan cheese by far we've ever tasted: CHEEZLY!! We'd order it by the case. - Michael Greger, via e-mail

 


I have to tell you we're absolutely bowled over by your amazing service and the food is fabulous too.

We certainly are enjoying the food and will be in touch again soon to order more. - Alice, via e-mail
