Certified B Corporation

Mayhew Bros [Ember] Ltd, trading as Ember Snacks, presents its sustainability position through sourcing and farming practices rather than broad environmental claims. The brand says it wants to end factory farming and limit its impact on the environment, and it sources beef from British and Irish farms. It also highlights regenerative, grass-fed, pasture-centred organic beef, rotational grazing, silvo pasture, outdoor reared pigs, and wild venison linked to woodland conservation. Ember has also published guidance on lower-impact food choices such as buying local, eating less but better meat, buying organic, and eating seasonally.

Mayhew Bros [Ember] Ltd Sustainability Actions

British and Irish sourcing

All the beef used for our biltong is sourced from British and Irish farms. The British Isles have moderate climate and hilly grasslands that make it perfect for sustainable livestock farming. This means the vast majority of British and Irish farms feed their cattle a diet of 90% grass throughout their life.

Mission against factory farming

We want to end factory farming and limit our impact on the environment. Factory farming is growing here in the UK; it's already rife in poultry and pigs and the intensive beef production that is commonplace in the Americas is growing here in the UK. We want farms not factories.

Regenerative meat products

Our new products are sliced beef using pasture centred organic beef that focuses on practices like rotational grazing and silvo pasture. Both are great for protecting our British wildlife. Pork slices from a farm that dedicates 50% of their land for the million bee project and wild venison that is essential for woodland conservation to protect nearly extinct British wildlife like the nightingale.

Planet-friendly food swaps

Sustainable swaps can be done by simply swapping out items in your diet with those that have less environmental impact like carbon emissions, land use and change of land use (like deforestation to grow soya and grain for intensive farming), and lower water consumption. So here are Ember Biltong's 5 easy food swaps for a more planet friendly diet to get you (and us!) started on this journey.

Buy local and seasonal

Buying local also supports your local economy and community. This encourages local producers to thrive and employ residents and ultimately produce better quality products. Eating seasonally can be easily paired with the food swaps we’ve previously mentioned. Produce that is in season costs us and the environment less because less transportation equates to lower costs and carbon emissions.
