We strive to offer the most sustainable products available. But, what does sustainability mean?
The overriding definition was given by the Norwegian prime minister, Gro Harlem Brundtland, many years ago –
‘Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to measure their own needs.’
When using the term here in Sullivan’s, we think of the three sustainable pillars;
PEOPLE – fair treatment of all and giving back to the community one is part of
PLANET – careful use of the Earth’s natural resources (water, soil, trees), and conservation of our natural habitats and wildlife
PROFIT – a viable, sound business that shares its profit for the greater good
We hope to make it easier for our customers to live sustainably by offering locally sourced produce, loose fruit and veg in reusable packaging and refillable options.
