Sustainability

French & Jupps is committed to sustainability in all aspects of our business operations. This ongoing commitment ensures our malted barley is sourced ethically, economically, and in a socially responsible manner.

Independently Audited

At French & Jupps, we are audited under Sedex, with a highly engaged focus on energy saving across our business operations. We’re incredibly proud to share that we hold a current Sedex Management Risk score of 4.4 out of 5.0.

At the time this is published, French & Jupps are proud to be the first roast malt producer to publish our full Scope 1, 2, and 3 ratings for full operational transparency and emissions disclosure, mapping our year-on-year improvements and targets as we follow our roadmap to operational net zero.

We continue to seek new ways to improve and make significant strides in reducing carbon emissions through our sustainability programme.

Driving Down Emissions

Carbon Neutral

Renewable Energy

We operate a carbon neutral energy contract backed by 74% renewable energy sources.​

Combine working a field of Barley

Locally Sourced

We source barley within 30 miles from Red Tractor Assurance scheme suppliers.​

Lower Emissions

Lower Emissions

Our electricity emissions are 40% lower than the national grid average.

Operationally Transparent

French and Jupps Ltd operations have been mapped for carbon emissions across the full three scopes in accordance with the GHG Protocol.

This analysis enables us to develop a carbon reduction map towards net zero and is the first step in preparing an Environmental Social Governance (ESG) report which is due to become an expectation for suppliers to the brewing, distilling and food supply chain.

The carbon analysis in this data uses the latest conversion factors from the UK government
