Cotswold Fayre

The leading speciality food wholesaler to retail and one of the first certified B-Corporations in the UK. They use business as a force for good to benefit both people and planet, constantly seeking ways in which to minimise the impact of the supply chain to independent retailers.

They work in partnership with over 400 responsible food and drink producers, stocking over 4,000 ambient and chilled products all year round, with additional seasonal lines. They offer product ranges in line with the latest consumer trends and provide Carbon Neutral distribution to food halls, department stores, garden centres, farm shops and smaller food retailers throughout the UK.

Cotswold Fayre are proud to celebrate our ‘10th B Corp Birthday’ this September. As they hit this milestone, they are reflecting upon their journey to build a better food business for today and tomorrow, for people and planet.

To become a B Corp, they have undergone a thorough assessment of their business operations, practices, and impact. This assessment evaluates various aspects, including governance, worker treatment, community involvement, environmental footprint, and product sourcing. Huge amounts of evidence are required to demonstrate how good your company is for the world. The best thing about the B Corp movement is that the bar becomes higher each year, every B Corp must continue to improve to maintain their points score and the B Corp community is a great way of encouraging each other to be better for both people and planet.

In summary, B Corp certification holds profound significance at Cotswold Fayre. It validates their commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, connects us with a global community of purpose-driven businesses, and sets us apart in the marketplace. By continually improving and achieving B Corp certification, they demonstrate commitment to conducting business in a way that benefits not only shareholders but also stakeholders such as employees, customers, suppliers, and the community at large and they are dedicated to making a positive and lasting difference in the world.
