Marleybones

Earth

At Marleybones, health and earth go hand-in-hand.

We all want to do what is best for our four-legged friends. But we have all seen images of oceans and beaches filled with plastic. We have all seen chickens cramped in cages.

It is time to think of the earth outside the comfort of our home. At Marleybones, we aim to create the pawfect meals, with every step of the supply chain being as sustainable as it is delicious.

This does good for your dog, our planet and you.

The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals

At Marleybones we are committed to supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Divided across three pillars of animal welfare, environment and people, we are working to tackle key environmental challenges, create healthier and more nutritious pet food, help less fortunate street dogs and use innovative technological solutions to create awareness and focus on what’s matters.

The earth.

three main priorities

We have organised our priorities in three categories;
animal welfare, environment and people.

Our approach to sustainability goes beyond our own operations and customers. With the implementation of blockchain, we ensure our entire value chain lives up to the highest welfare and sustainability standards – open for everyone to see.

We recognised that we can only create a more sustainable world by including the interconnected nature of health, environmental and social challenges we face. We work to maximise sustainable values for our customers, business and communities.

01. animal welfare

Animal welfare and ethically sourced products is among our highest priorities. Sadly, intensive industrial farming is often associated with poor animal welfare and unjust conditions. Marleybones will not be a part of this practise under any circumstance.

We are committed to sourcing only free-range chickens, grass-fed lamb and cattle with the safest slaughtering practises, and healthy salmon from an all-natural, hand-rearing environment. As an added benefit our meat and fish are much higher in nutrients!

Close to our heart is the support of WECare Worldwide that neuter, vaccinate and treats street dogs round the clock.

Besides the greater environment, we are of course committed to keeping our pups safe by excluding all nasties from our meals, including sugar, artificial preservatives and flavours.

02. environment

We are comitted to a low-carbon circular economy in which the entire value chain has minimal climate impact. This includes reducing waste through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.

We have carefully selected British suppliers that are equally engaged in protecting our environment, by covering their fields with solar panels or renewing food waste into biomass or fertiliser, to name a few. All suppliers and our manufacturer are within the Great British borders, ensuring lower food miles when bringing dog dining across the country. We are a 100% local business and product.

Our meals are delivered in packaging made from sustainable sourced, plant-based renewable materials and are recyclable. Recycling is at the centre of a low-carbon circular economy that aims to reduce waste and keep materials in use for longer.

With the implementation of the blockchain technology from Provenance we ensure our entire value chain lives up to the highest welfare and sustainability standards – open for everyone to see.

Tetra Pak cartons are widely recyclable within the UK. Compared to the widely used can, our packaging takes up much less space, meaning less lorries on the road, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint. From production to waste management, they have even shown to have an overall climate impact five times less than steel or glass. As an added bonus, they are easy to store and take up little space!

More than 94% of councils in the UK collect the cartons and at Tetra Pak’s own recycling plant the cartons are remade into new products like roofing tiles and toilet paper roll cores.

03. People

Behind Marleybones is two Danish female founders and owners and whole lot of other inspiring and hard working people.

Currently in the UK, less than 1% of venture capital investments go to startups with female founders while mixed gender startups receive 10% and male founders receive 89%. This is the kind of inequality gap that needs changing!

We believe diversity yields the best results and that is why we have implemented an Equal opportunities policy only to name a few. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, nationality, sex or religion to name a few. In fact, we promote social, economical and political inclusion and support gender equality to its fullest.

We further make sure everyone working at Marleybones receives a fair payment.
