Sustainability Practices At Field Doctor

Field Doctor is on a journey to ensure that as a business we make a positive and holistic impact, not just on the health of the people who eat and enjoy our food, but also in the wider world.

We believe that better business practices can help with behaviour change; by assessing and improving our behaviour as a business, we hope to help consumers make more planet friendly choices. We also endeavor to listen to our customers- all the time and be open to changes in our working practices. We believe that by joining forces with consumers and with other businesses and organisations, we can make a real and positive impact.

What are we doing?

We’ve already made commitments on ingredient and material sourcing as well as production and delivery, focusing on a transparent supply chain that shares our values and that works to reduce its carbon footprint.  

By having the best supply chain possible, we can also extend the impact of our behaviour beyond the finite limits of Field Doctor as a business, on the food industry as a whole. Food production and farming has a large carbon footprint so we’re under no illusions about the challenges we face. The produce that we buy has an impact on the wellbeing of our customers, as well as the environment and the lives of the people involved in growing and farming. We work hard to ensure we have a short supply chain and that the food we buy has come to us directly and transparently from trusted suppliers. This gives us the chance to build meaningful relationships with these suppliers and producers too.

We work with produce that have the maximum nutritional content and contain no preservatives and other additives.  

Field Doctor is not an organic food company. In the past we used 100% organic meat, but due to the high cost and challenges with consistency of supply we took the decision to move away from organic to more scalable and customer friendly solutions, while maintaining the ethics and values of Field Doctor.

We purchase Red Tractor standard meat from British farms

All our meat and fish are sustainably sourced, featuring British chicken and grass-fed British Angus beef from red tractor farms and slaughterhouses that are farm assured

We do not use air freighted food and require transparency and traceability of non-local produce.

We do not use products or packaging which are grown, farmed or produced through exploitation and that are fully traceable

Where can we improve?

As a startup business, we are constantly striving to improve our consumer experience as well as the traceability of our ingredients and the eco credentials of our packaging and production processes as we grow. Our core principles of seeking a triple bottom line; profit, people and planet, will help guide us to make continual improvements and investments towards a sustainable future.
