Key Sustainability Commitments

Registration of Origin Green is a significant development for Hickeys and makes a strong statement about our commitment to sustainable food development and together with our PGI designation will be closely aligned to EU's transformation policies of EU Green Deal and Farm to Fork strategy. We have upgraded our baking equipment installed a natural gas oven to increase capacity, improve productivity and produce products in a more sustainable way. We are installing solar panels on our retail premises and recycle all our packaging which is ECO friendly cardboard. Because of the shift away from loose to individually wrapped products we have invested in new flexible packaging design to incorporate PGI status on all Hickeys packaging and Transport vehicles .Hickeys are actively involved in community engagement across a range of areas including local sporting and charitable activities as part of our contribution to support local communities.
