Our Ethical Policy
So that we can give our customers a flavour of how 'green' we are, we have identified the ten key areas of ethical, sustainable management measures that we feel are applicable to us.

All staff at Total Raw Food Ltd are vegan, with a varying amount of raw food included. Managing Directors Tom Fenton and Jess Michael have a 99.99% raw vegan diet. We source seasonal and local organic / unsprayed bio dynamic produce for lunches.

We use water efficient appliances, and collect our own rainwater.
Sustainable Materials
We use renewable and/or recycled materials, we make our own products, and use and sell locally made or UK made products too.

We promote car sharing and the use of public transport, electronic transport and cycling / walking were possible. We conduct video conferencing intead of traveling long distances for meetings, where possible.
Carbon Reduction
We strive to be energy efficient and buy energy through a 'green' tariff, we use energy efficient light bulbs, and work in well insulated premises. We turn heating thermostats down by 1 - 5°C.
