Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Since our establishment in 2013, we have taken great pride in the values that our business is built upon: quality, expertise and respect. Our founding values and principles are unwavering to this day.

We are wholeheartedly committed to revolutionising the world of pet nutrition with science-led raw feeding formulations that support ultimate animal health and happiness.

Animal health and happiness – above all else – is what drives us.

We uphold the highest of standards when it comes to our products, services and operations, and this approach extends across our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments. We understand that we have a duty of care to our staff, our animals and the environment when it comes to our impact on the world.

To us, value goes far beyond finances.

What is Corporate Social Responsibility and why is it important to us?

Corporate Social Responsibility refers to the way in which businesses such as Nutriment can positively influence the world. This all-encompassing attitude considers the social, economic and ethical impacts of a business’ operations. In short, it is what really matters to us and our planet.

As a modern and innovative business, we recognise the impact that our business has, and we are active in our CSR strategy. It is our way of showing our partners and the wider public what really matters to us, and how we really want to make a difference.

We hold ourselves accountable.

Here at Nutriment, we continuously invest in our people and our operations in order to work as responsibly and sustainably as possible. Discover our CSR commitments and actions below.

Organic Farming

Nutriment’s Laverstoke Park Farm range of organic food produce goes above and beyond when it comes to ethical and sustainable farming, whilst providing nutritious and biologically appropriate food for pets. The benefits of organic farming are well-known:

Organic food products reduce pet exposure to pesticides.
Organic food is nutritionally different: Laverstoke Park Farm organic dog food is complete without the necessity to include supplements or vegetables.
Organic farming means the very highest standards of animal welfare are met. Organic animals are truly free range and are reared without the routine use of drugs, antibiotics or wormers.
Organic means working with nature, not against it.
Less greenhouse gas emissions are produced through organic farming.
Natural resources, such as fresh water and healthy soils, are protected with organic farming.
Organic farms are havens for wildlife – facilitating up to 50% more than non-organic farms.

As a business and as individuals, we strive for perfection. We welcome your honest feedback on your experiences with Nutriment and how we can even further improve our Corporate Social Responsibility program.
