Our suppliers share our core values. They pay particular attention to increasing:

• consumption of healthy and nutritious food
• use of seasonal goods
• the proportion of fairly traded products available
• the proportion of food produced according to a recognised farm assurance standard

And reducing:

• food waste
• packaging waste
• the number of food deliveries made to the catering outlets

Our suppliers also provide reasonable support for university awareness and training schemes, and facilitate relationships between the university and small producers.
