Dedicated to doing good
)
Here at Greggs, we know there’s more to life than making the world’s best Sausage Rolls, that's why we launched The Greggs Pledge in 2021.
With past Pledge commitments now fully baked into the day-to-day at Greggs and the world continuing to change, we’re evolving our Pledge to keep making a positive impact on our communities and continue doing good.
Greggs Foundation
At Greggs, we believe every child deserves the chance to belong - to learn, to play, and to feel part of something special.
Our Greggs Foundation Breakfast Clubs started all the way back in 1999 to ensure that thousands of children could have a healthy start to the day.
In 2025, we supported more than 1,000 Breakfast Clubs in feeding more than 79,500 children every school day.
The Feeding Brighter Futures programme builds on everything the Greggs Foundation has already built through 27 years of funding free school Breakfast Clubs, going further to help schools remove cost barriers so no child misses out on new opportunities because money is tight.
Food waste
If you know Greggs, you know we really love food - and that’s why we don’t send it to landfill.
Our famous bakes and Sausage Rolls are all freshly baked, while our selection of sandwiches are prepared daily in shop to make sure your breakfast, lunch or dinner is packed full of fresh flavour and fun. Because much of our tasty menu is fresh, a lot goes on behind the scenes to prevent surplus. We have brilliant shop teams who manage stock levels, while a forecasting system that helps us plan so we know what our customers will want so we don’t over order.
We also work with Too Good To Go, a brilliant food app that offers our customers a ‘Magic Bag’ of unsold food worth around £8 for under £3.
Outlets
As closing time approaches in many of our shops, unsold food is collected and distributed to one of our Greggs Outlets to be sold the next day at a tasty discount.
As well as acting as our unsung food waste heroes, Outlet shops are a safe haven for Greggs fans on a tight budget. We open Greggs Outlet shops in areas where families are likely to be hit hardest by deprivation issues. To protect those communities, we invest a portion of the profit from Outlet shops back into those areas via The Greggs Foundation by partnering or giving grants to local organisations.
We now have 45 Greggs Outlet shops around the nation, providing affordable food in areas where they’re needed the most.

Healthier choices
Now, we don’t want to blow our own trumpet, but we might just have this whole delicious food lark sussed.
Our aim is to offer a mouth-watering menu at purse-pleasing prices, but since setting out on our Greggs Pledge journey, we’ve also begun a mission to help our customers make healthier choices.
Over 30% of our menu is ‘Healthier Choice’ meaning that you get the same great tasting food for fewer than 400 calories and with no reds on the traffic light system.
Of course, we’ve not forgotten the Greggs favourites that you all know and love. By making small changes to reduce the amount of salt, fat or sugar we’ve been able to improve their nutritional value – and your tastebuds won’t even know the difference.
Packaging
The planet is a pretty brilliant place when you think about it – so we want to play our part in protecting it.
We’ll likely always need packaging to keep our products fresh and safe to eat, but we’re getting smarter and are on the way to only using packaging that is both essential and made from the most sustainable materials.
In 2025, we ensured that 100% of our own-brand packaging is fully recyclable – with the only exception being our hot drink cups. But with our reusable coffee cups available in store, you’ll get a free hot drink to start you off and 25p off refills.
Animal welfare
The welfare of animals in our supply chain is really important to us – and we only work with suppliers who align with our values.
We introduced our new ‘Greggs Broiler Standard’ to make sure that our chicken welfare meets more ambitious standards than current UK or EU legislation requires.
Our suppliers must also meet and exceed our rules to ensure both the mental and physical well-being of animals reared to provide ingredients or products.
We recognise that animals are sentient beings that deserve to be treated with respect.
We ensure all animals in our supply chain are provided with fresh food and water, have shelter, are protected from pain, injury, disease or distress and have the freedom to express normal behaviours. As a result, Greggs now ranks in the top 4 of 150 of the world’s largest food companies in the Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare (BBFAW).
