By reducing our environmental footprint, we aim to provide the highest quality teas while promoting a more sustainable future. We recognize our responsibility to operate in an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible manner. Our commitment to sustainability is a fundamental part of our business strategy, influencing our decisions and actions as we strive to reduce our environmental impact and improve our practices continuously. 

Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability 

The White Tea Company believes in the importance of good environmental stewardship and sustainable operations. We are dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint and enhancing our sustainability efforts, ensuring that we support and exceed the requirements of current environmental legislation and best practices.

Our Commitments

Compliance and Beyond

Fully support, comply with, and often exceed the requirements of current environmental laws and regulations. 

Waste Minimisation

Reduce waste production and prioritise reusing and recycling materials whenever possible. We adhere to the principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling to minimize our waste footprint.

Eco-friendly Procurement

Prefer products and services that cause minimal environmental harm, encouraging our suppliers and partners to adopt similar practices.

Environmental Impact Assessment

Evaluate the environmental impact of new processes or products in advance to ensure they align with our sustainability goals.

Sustainability Priorities 

Fair Price and Living Wages

We reject mediocre quality teas that exploit workers and compromise true quality. Instead, we prefer to pay sustainable pricing that is then reinvested into the communities and plantations, fostering a healthier and more prosperous future.

Packaging Promise

Deliver high-quality, fresh tea to our customers using packaging that maintains moisture and oxygen barriers to retain tea freshness. Our packaging is a dual layer recyclable LDPE, a mono-plastic that can be repurposed. Our tea bags are biodegradable and compostable. 

Conclusion

Sustainability is not just a policy but a core part of our identity. We are dedicated to making continuous improvements in our environmental performance and encouraging our customers, suppliers, and business partners to join us in our commitment to a sustainable future. By working together, we aim to make a positive impact on the planet and ensure a better world for future generations.
