A Sustainable Future

At Patisserie Valerie, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve successfully retained our Carbon Neutral Certification for 2024! 

Carbon Neutral for 2024!

This achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to the planet through:

  • Reducing carbon emissions across our operations
  • Minimising wastage to create a more sustainable business
  • Offsetting 350 tonnes of carbon - the equivalent of planting 17,000 trees!

We remain dedicated to creating exceptional patisserie while respecting our environment, and we’re excited to continue this journey with you. Thank you for supporting our mission to make every cake a little kinder to the planet.

  • Local Ingredients

    Our commitment to sustainability begins with what’s on your plate:

    • Handmade in the UK: All of our cakes are lovingly crafted here in the UK, giving us full control over ingredient quality while reducing food miles.
    • Locally Sourced: Wherever possible, we partner with UK-based suppliers for fresh, high-quality ingredients.
    • Sustainable Alternatives: Responding to growing customer demand, we’ve introduced plant-based cakes with a lower environmental footprint.
    • Ethical Imports: For non-local specialties, like our coffee, we source responsibly from farms with ethical and transparent supply chains.

  • Carbon Neutral Delivery

    Enjoy our cakes wherever you are, knowing that every delivery is carbon neutral:

    • Direct from Our Bakery: By dispatching directly from our central bakery, we minimise ingredient waste and ensure your cakes arrive fresh and delicious.
    • Eco-Friendly Logistics: We partner with leading providers using electric and hybrid vehicles, paired with carbon offsetting for every delivery.

  • Energy Efficiency

    Every cake is handmade by our expert bakers and pastry chefs, reducing the need for energy-intensive machinery. Our energy-saving initiatives include:

    • 100% Renewable Electricity: All our electricity is sourced from renewables.
    • Continuous Improvements: We constantly evaluate ways to minimise our energy use, one small step at a time.

  • Food Waste Reduction

    We’ve implemented innovative ways to minimise waste without compromising quality:

    • Freshly Baked and Flash-Frozen: Cakes are baked fresh, flash-frozen, and shipped to ensure they reach you in perfect condition.
    • Anaerobic Digestion: Any leftover bakery waste is transformed into green energy by local partners.
    • Minimal In-Store Waste: From freshly prepared dishes to handmade fruit tarts, our patisseries operate with precision to avoid unnecessary waste.

  • Recycled and Recyclable Packaging

    We’re reimagining how we package our products to balance sustainability and perfection:

    • Eco-Friendly Materials: Our packaging is made from recycled or recyclable materials.
    • Reusable Rewards: Customers who bring their own reusable cups—or one of ours—are rewarded at our patisseries.
    • Ongoing Innovation: We’re constantly exploring new ways to improve packaging while ensuring your cakes arrive beautifully and securely.

  • Investing in People

    Our bakers and pastry chefs are at the heart of everything we do:

    • Handmade Excellence: Every chocolate cake is baked by hand, and every birthday cake is decorated with care by our dedicated team.
    • World-Class Training: We invest hundreds of hours into training our bakers and pastry chefs, empowering them to carry our craft into the next century.
    • Sustaining Tradition: By nurturing talent, we ensure our beloved patisserie continues to delight for generations to come.

At Patisserie Valerie, sustainability is more than a goal—it’s a promise. We’ve worked hard to reduce our impact on the planet, ensuring that every cake we bake is as good for the environment as it is for our customers.
