SUSTAINABILITY AT H&CO

 A Delicious Future for the Planet

At H&CO, we believe that indulgence and sustainability can go hand in hand. Our commitment to the environment is baked into everything we do, from the ingredients we source to the way we operate our retail stores and bakeries. We strive to bring you the best in enjoying the food while minimizing our impact on the planet.

Our Sustainability Journey begins with...

SUSTAINABILITY

Reducing Food Waste

At H&CO, we are serious about reducing waste. In our kitchens, nothing goes unused. Leftover ingredients are creatively repurposed into new recipes, and what we can’t use is composted or responsibly disposed of. This approach ensures that every bit of produce is respected, helping to cut down on unnecessary waste while maintaining our high standards of quality.

SUSTAINABILITY

Going Digital

We've slowly moved away from printed menus and materials to reduce paper waste. By offering digital menus and online ordering, we minimize environmental impact while making things easier for our customers. Every digital step brings us closer to a greener, more sustainable future.

SUSTAINABILITY

Nourishing Our Community

We understand the importance of giving back. Unsold food at H&CO doesn’t go to waste—it goes to our vulnerable family in need. We partner with local food banks to donate any surplus baked goods and pastries, helping to feed those who might otherwise go hungry. This initiative not only reduces food waste but also strengthens our connection to the community by providing support where it’s needed most.

SUSTAINABILITY

Investing in Our People

Sustainability isn’t just about the planet; it’s about people too. At H&CO, we believe in ethical labor practices and fair treatment for all. We support a work environment that empowers our employees, offering fair wages, trainings and opportunities for growth. Our commitment to sustainability means nurturing a community of people who share our values.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sourcing Responsibly

Our journey begins with the ingredients we choose. H&CO works closely with local suppliers to source sustainable, high-quality ingredients. By supporting regional farmers, we help reduce carbon emissions, strengthen local economies, and ensure our products are as fresh as they are flavorful. Every component of our products is selected with sustainability in mind.

SUSTAINABILITY

Packaging with Purpose

Packaging is a key part of our sustainability efforts. We are committed to using eco-friendly, reusable packaging that reduces waste without compromising on style. From takeaway cups to our signature cookie tubes, our packaging solutions reflect our dedication to sustainability and a sleek, modern aesthetic.

SUSTAINABILITY

Recycling for a Greener Future

Recycling is a key part of our sustainability efforts. We ensure that all recyclable materials, from packaging to kitchen waste, are properly sorted and reused wherever possible. By recycling, we reduce waste that would otherwise end up in landfills and contribute to a healthier environment.

SUSTAINABILITY

Energy Efficient Operation

Our retail stores, bakeries, and production facilities are powered by energy-efficient equipment designed to lower our overall carbon footprint. We’re continually investing in new technologies that save energy while ensuring our stores and kitchens run smoothly. At H&CO, we're leading by example in how businesses can balance innovation with environmental stewardship.

The journey to a more sustainable future is ongoing, and we’re excited to take this path with you. Every time you enjoy our pastries, breads, desserts or product, you’re supporting a business that puts the planet first. Together, we can create a future that’s as bright as it is delicious.

Join us at H&CO and savor the taste of a better tomorrow, one bite at a time!
