Together we're making a difference with every bowl of weetabix
From the fields...
Every grain of wheat for our Weetabix original is grown within 50 miles of our factory in fields that protect natural wildlife, with the help of our Weetabix Growers Group.
...To The Factory
75% of the power of our factory is produced on-site, reducing our carbon footprint - and that's not all we're working on...

Have you had yours?
Our relationship with local farmers goes right back to the beginnings of the Weetabix Food
Company. Today, we have our Growers Group, a collective of over 130 farmers who are proud to
grow the
best quality wheat for Weetabix.
We only source wheat for Weetabix Original from farms within 50 miles of our mills in
Northamptonshire, reducing food miles involved in transporting our main raw ingredient.
We meet Red Tractor standards for fertiliser use. This means less nitrogen and more
environmental preservation!
Our high level of environmental stewardship protects hedgerows, creates habitats for bees and
looks after wildflower borders.
Reducing energy – we generate most of the electricity for our Burton Latimer factory in our
on-site power plant.
Minimising our waste – none of the waste from our factories is sent to landfill and we are
working with WRAP to cut our surplus.
Minimising your waste – our packaging is now 92% recyclable, and we have plans to reach 100% by
2025.
Conserving water – in 2020 we’ve reduced water consumption by 20% versus 2015 levels.
Modernising manufacturing – we’ve invested £30 million to make our factories use less energy and
create less emissions.
