Here at SPAR we want to give something back to the community and the environment while being a responsible employer. We work on an international basis to gather the latest initiatives and strategies available to achieve best practice in the following areas.
Our climate
We are committed to implementing initiatives to reduce the impact of our business on the environment, promoting recycling, the use of reuseable shopping bags, locally sourced products and monitoring energy use. We work closely with suppliers to optimise transportation to reduce road congestion and cut emissions that contribute to global warming.
Our community
We are actively involved in the community in the UK and around the world through fundraising and renewal projects in local communities and supporting young people as well as our work with childrens’ charities, the NSPCC and CHILDREN 1ST.
Our people
SPAR is a partnership of people with common goals and values, working together for our customers. We are committed to putting both our customers and our staff at the centre of our business. We want to offer our customers the very best in service, and we want to be the company where local people want to work and develop their careers.
Our product
We sell high-quality products from all over the world, but we put a special focus on high-quality local products, too. We also have an ongoing commitment to healthy eating. Guideline Daily Amounts (GDAs) indicate the total number of calories, fat, saturated fat, salt and sugar a typical adult should eat in a single day. To help our customers make the right choices for their health and wellbeing, all of our SPAR-branded products include GDAs on the front and back.
