Gift-Aid To Quaker
Work
Since the creation of the company in 2007, we have gift-aided £6.1 million to Britain Yearly Meeting, the charity of Quakers in Britain. Quakers act to build a more peaceful and sustainable world.
Carbon
Reduction
We are continuously monitoring our impact on the environment. For the last ten years, we have been working closely with Accenture.
Zero Waste
To Landfill
We have a zero waste to landfill policy in place. We work closely with First Mile to dispose of our waste in a sustainable and non-polluting way. None of our waste is sent to landfill.
Sustainable
Packaging
Across all our operations, we have reduced the use of single-use plastic and packaging. The Quaker Centre Bookshop switched to 100% sustainable packaging in 2019, being both made from recycled materials and compostable. There is no single-use plastic at Friends House and Swarthmoor Hall. And most materials used can be recycled.
Less Meats
More Greens
We feel that now is the time for change if we want to effectively tackle climate change. One of the biggest challenges, in our eyes, is changing our diets to reduce carbon emissions. This is why we have decided to solely serve vegetarian and vegan food and drinks in the Seed Café at Friends House.
