The Food Purveyor is committed to supporting environmental sustainability, social responsibility and effective corporate governance in all that we do. We take these responsibilities seriously and our commitment exhibits through how we conduct our business whilst giving back to the community and environment we operate in.
Environmental Initiatives
Since 2021, our stores have ceased providing single-use plastic carrier bags to customers. As part of our mission to eliminate single-use plastic bags, we have raised awareness about the environmental impact of improperly disposed plastic bags through visuals and a campaign that rewards customers with Bites points each time they refuse a plastic carrier bag during their shopping trips. Through this initiative, TFP has prevented millions of single-use bags from entering society and the environment annually.
We have collaborated with an educational children’s book author to raise awareness about endangered Asian animal species and to cultivate nature loving children and instill in them universal values such as kindness and respecting nature and animals.
Community Engagement
As an integral part of the community, we strive to contribute, and support underserved and vulnerable communities through various programs. We work closely with Air Selangor and Yayasan Food Bank in the ‘Box of Hope’ program, where in addition to collecting food donations from food cages, we also donate food boxes whenever possible during food distribution activities and participate in many other activities.
Through our loyalty program Bites, we have opened channels that allow members to donate their points directly to organizations supporting causes they wish to contribute to. These donation channels support initiatives such as providing school lunch meals for underprivileged children, supporting training centers for children with disabilities, providing meals for stray animals, funding dialysis treatments, chemotherapy sessions, stroke recovery therapy, or treatments for underprivileged patients.
Responsible Sourcing
As a retailer committed to sustainability initiatives, we play a crucial role in serving our community by providing accessible and affordable options to meet their daily nutritional needs. We will continue offering a diverse range of choices to fulfill our customers’ requirements while introducing new sustainable options as part of our mission. For instance, we collaborate closely with suppliers to promote ethical sourcing practices within our supply chain, exemplified by our aspiration to achieve a 100% cage-free egg assortment by 2035.
While we envision a future of a 100% sustainable and environmentally-friendly supply chain, progress ultimately depends on the supply market’s ability to move at the same pace towards the same mission.
