Sainsburys strong ethical approach has been at the heart of the Sainsburys business since the first Sainsburys store was opened way back in 1869. More than 140 years later, Sainsburys values still provide the framework for how business gets done at Sainsburys.

However, although shoppers are increasingly price-conscious - especially during challenging economic times - ethical and environmental issues remain important for customers. Fortunately, Sainsburys believe that by considering the wider social, environmental and economic impacts of the Sainsburys business, it's possible to meet shoppers' expectations - and even exceed them - by acting responsibly on their behalf.

As regular Sainsburys shoppers will know, the traffic light labels on many Sainsburys food products provide a quick and handy reference for determining the health-value of a product, but Sainsburys also take great pride in providing environmentally friendly products too. For instance, in June 2008, Sainsburys became the first major supermarket to source its fresh and smoked salmon entirely from Scottish salmon farms approved by Freedom Food, and meeting the RSPCA's strict welfare standards for salmon.

Additionally, in 2007, Sainsburys were the first UK supermarket to convert its banana production entirely to Fairtrade. Today more than half of the Fairtrade bananas sold in the UK are sold by Sainsburys.

In fact, Sainsburys aim to be environmentally responsible not just with regards to the food it sells, but in all aspects of the way the Sainsburys business is operated, and encourages customers to be environmentally responsible too.

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.
