Our CSR Commitments
Our commitments
for generations to come
At Zeelandia, we recognise Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), as a crucial foundation and starting point for the sustainable future of our company, our communities and the environment.
Zeelandia is a family business. We have strong roots in the community and a strong sense of responsibility for our people, our suppliers, our customers and our natural environment. Corporate Social Responsibility is strongly anchored in our Values. Our ambition is to further intensify dialogue with customers, consumers, suppliers, employees and other key stakeholders about how Zeelandia can play its role in these areas. We focus on four CSR areas where we want to have the most meaningful impact:
- Better for our Consumers - food safety and healthier products
- Better for our Employees - health, safety and professional growth
- Better for our Communities - where we live and work
- Better for our Planet - clean energy, zero waste and responsible sourcing
We made great progress in 2025
At Zeelandia UK we continued our support of Bake4Ukraine the humanitarian mission to support the bakeries damaged or destroyed during the ongoing conflict by providing repurposed bakery equipment donated by industrial manufacturers, craft bakeries and Grocery retailers across the UK. Bake4Ukraine represents a remarkable example of Corporate Social Responsibility and collaboration across the bakery industry and will make a tangible difference to the lives of those living in war-affected communities.
We also continued our work with Marketfield College in Essex providing practical bakery skills training days for students with learning difficulties and raised funds for the Hamlet learning facility near Wigan, supporting employment opportunities for adults with learning difficulties.
Working to reduce our CO2 towards our Scope 1 and 2 targets was a key area of focus and we are proud to have achieved a reduction at our Colchester site of -17.3% (2023-2025) , against a target of -8.8%.
