Silvery Tweed Cereals cultivates progress with 2025 sustainability report

Cereal innovator Silvery Tweed Cereals has unveiled its 2025 sustainability report, revealing a 35% reduction in total net emissions across the business.

The Berwick-upon-Tweed-based business has worked in partnership with environmental consultants, Beyondly, to measure its carbon footprint, produce a thorough energy report, and identify areas for improvement.

The first report in 2024 provided an emissions baseline across the company’s scope 1 and 2 activities. Scope 1 covers emissions from activities owned or controlled by an organisation.

Scope 2 reflects indirect emissions released into the atmosphere as a result of an organisation’s consumption of purchased energy.

The 2024 report highlighted the potential to save 272 tonnes of carbon through a range of energy-saving measures. After discovering that electricity was the most significant contributor to emissions, Silvery Tweed switched to buying energy from 100% renewable sources. This has contributed significantly to a 35% reduction in emissions, recorded in the company’s 2025 report published this month.

Silvery Tweed Cereals managing director, Bob Gladstone, said, “As a business rooted in agriculture and food production, we have a responsibility to operate sustainably and protect the environment we all depend on. From farm to factory, every decision we make must balance the needs of today with the well-being of future generations. Sustainability isn’t just a goal for our business, it’s a commitment to our customers, our community and the planet.”
