Sainsburys

There are, of course, numerous supermarkets and online stores where you choose to shop; yet few stores make as much effort as Sainsburys in trying to provide healthy choices and being as environmentally responsible, and that alone is one good reason to choose Sainsburys.

In fact, Sainsburys is one of the most progressive supermarkets when it comes to providing healthy food, and employs more than a hundred product developers and researchers to progressively reduce levels of fat, sugar, salt, saturated fat and additives in Sainsburys products wherever it is possible, while simultaneously looking to increase nutrients.

However, if you don't live near to a Sainsburys store, then no problem; at Sainsburys Online Store you can enjoy the same healthy choices online too, with groceries - and much else - delivered direct to your door.

If you're shopping for groceries at Sainsburys, then it's good to know that Sainsburys have a long and established history of supporting British farmers.

However, Sainsburys believe this is about more than simply stocking British farmers' products. It's also about working closely with UK farmers to raise their capability and skill levels, and thus empowering them to continue supplying Sainsburys for the long-term.

Where possible, Sainsburys aim to source British and Sainsburys offer a variety of products that are 100% British all year long. For other types of seasonal produce, Sainsburys aim to stock the best of British in season and, in some cases, to secure supplies, Sainsburys purchase an especially large portion of the British crop.

Sainsburys commitment to providing great-tasting, affordable British produce means being able to provide customers healthy products when they are at their very best. In fact, during the 2008-2009 British season Sainsburys sold more British apples and pears than any other supermarket we purchased 45% of all tomatoes grown in the UK and purchased over 23% of the British strawberry crop.

Even though Sainsburys customers are often looking to economise with their shopping, concerns regarding the environment, and ethical-trading practices, also remain important to them.

However, while continuing to ensure that Sainsburys products are affordable, and of high quality, Sainsburys has always taken a leading stance on the issues which are important to customers, and is the recipient of many an award for its ethical and environmental credentials.
