OUR ETHOS:
SAFE, NUTRITIOUS SUSTAINABLE FOOD
HEALTHIER MORE SUSTAINABLE FOOD
We are constantly working to increase the amount of Public Health England compliant products, where there is a reduction in salt, saturated fat and sugar in all our pizza.
All aspects of food production contribute to climate changing emissions.
But agriculture – and specifically meat and dairy farming – has the greatest impact. That's why we have increased our range of low- and no-meat products.
CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION
Lighting motion sensors are used within the premises to help reduce the amount of energy consumed on site.
We have been using a car share system to get our staff to work since moving from our Darnley site 5 years ago.
LEDs are used across our site– they have an 80-90% efficiency, which means 80-90% of their energy is turned into light rather than heat.
We have reduce the amount of customer deliveries.
FOOD WASTE
The food waste is collected twice weekly from Victor Pizza and processed by Energen Biogas in Cumbernauld.
Energen Biogas was set up specifically to reduce the amount of food waste going to landfill. They produce renewable energy through Anaerobic Digestion from food and food processing residues. The electricity generated through this process is exported to the National Grid.
RE-USE
Where possible, The Victor Pizza Company will re-use any food items that are safe to do so, operating within the Cooksafe HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) Food Safety Management System, recommended by the Foods Standards Agency.
RECYCLE
We are constantly evaluating waste on site by investigating procedures and operations to ensure they are as lean as possible and we are reducing waste where we can.
By 2022 we aim to reduce the amount of plastic's used to pack our products by 40%.
Our Eco friendly shrink film used to wrap our products is 100% recyclable.
