Preview: Our approach
At Morrisons, we are the only UK retailer to have our own livestock buyers sourcing animals directly fromover 2,700 British farmers, some of whom have been supplying us for over 30 years. Uniquely, we own ourown abattoirs, located in Turriff (Aberdeenshire), Spalding (Lincolnshire) and Colne (Lancashire) andmanufacture the majority of our own fresh food in 18 manufacturing sites and 498 stores, includingbakery, seafood, meat, fruit & veg, flowers and chilled processed products.
Our Corporate Responsibility report from 2019/20 demonstrates that sourcing well, securing British supplyand maintaining high standards of farm animal health and welfare remain important issues for customers;they all make good business sense. Animal welfare remains a key area of interest, staying within the top 5of the most important issues considered by the 4,000 shoppers surveyed. In sourcing such a highpercentage of British food - all of our fresh meat, milk and eggs are British - we are supporting the highstandards of welfare that lie at the heart of British farming. We work closely with our farmers and suppliersacross our whole supply chain to raise farm animal health and welfare standards, and satisfy ourcustomers' need for great food at an affordable price.
