As well as own brand suppliers, Applegreen are continually looking for the
best in locally sourced products, under the supplier’s brand.
These value driven strategic initiatives have been made possible by the
creation of Applegreen’s central distribution and logistics system in 2009.

The system ensures best supplier pricing, whilst also reducing Applegreen’s
carbon footprint. Applegreen’s trucks are designed to deliver ambient,
chilled and frozen products in one delivery all from their central warehouse
depot.
As a minimum standard, suppliers must have HACCP. Majority of food
suppliers have a BRC audit accreditation.
Suppliers are frequently reviewed and audited to ensure product quality.
