Our Commitment to Sustainability

At The Heavi Deli, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in the power of local sourcing, reducing our carbon footprint, and contributing to the health of our planet and the economy. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

Reducing Air Miles for a Greener Future

In our pursuit of a more sustainable world, we make a conscious effort to reduce air miles. The environmental impact of long-distance transportation is undeniable, and we are committed to doing our part to minimize it. By sourcing local produce and reducing our reliance on imported goods, we are actively reducing carbon emissions, helping to protect our planet.

Supporting Local Businesses and the Economy

We are proud to champion the incredible small businesses in our community, particularly here in Devon and across the South West. Sourcing local produce not only reduces our environmental impact, but also helps to stimulate the regional economy. By partnering with local suppliers, we ensure that our purchases directly benefit the hardworking individuals and families who make up this vibrant community.

From farmers to artisans, producers to suppliers, we are committed to supporting the businesses that make the South West unique. Each time you shop with us, you're helping to sustain local livelihoods, encourage fair trade practices, and strengthen the local economy.

Strengthening Our Community

At The Heavi Deli, we believe that sustainability goes beyond the environment—it’s also about building stronger communities. By investing in local businesses, we help foster a circular economy where money stays within the region, creating a more resilient and self-sustaining area. Our efforts to source responsibly also ensure that our friends, neighbours and colleagues are supported through every purchase.

Charitable Aims and Objectives: Giving Back to Our Community

We are deeply committed to supporting causes that are close to our hearts that make a real difference in our local community. In line with our values, we host regular evening events throughout the year, showcasing the very best in local produce and suppliers. These evenings are a celebration of our region’s vibrant food culture, and they offer a unique opportunity for our customers to meet the faces behind the products they love.

But it’s not just about great food and drink—these events also serve a higher purpose. All the money raised through ticket sales goes directly to a local charity that works to improve the lives of people in our community. By attending, you’re not only supporting small businesses and enjoying a fantastic evening, you’re also helping to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need right here in Devon and the South West.

See our news page or social media to fin out when the next event is.

A Sustainable Future Together

We understand that sustainability is a journey, not a destination, and we’re committed to continuing to evolve our practices to benefit the environment and the communities we care about. Our dedication to reducing air miles, sourcing locally, supporting small businesses, and giving back to charity is just the beginning. Together, we can create a more sustainable future, one decision at a time.

Thank you for supporting our mission. Every choice you make with us helps pave the way toward a more sustainable and thriving world.
