Our planet

We're based in the beautiful rolling hills of the South Downs National Park where we experience the wonder of our natural world every day. At Jude’s our mission is to pioneer radical change in our industry by making the most delicious craft ice cream whilst treading lightly on our planet.

We work with carbon footprinting expert Professor Mike Berners-Lee and his team at Small World Consulting, to measure our carbon footprint and identify the most sustainable ways to reduce it. 

In 2020 we committed to reduce our carbon intensity per litre of ice cream by 43% by 2030, and we're already over halfway there!  We achieved this by comprehensively reviewing everything we do as a business and proactively identifying ways to reduce carbon.  For example, we've installed solar panels at our Twyford ice cream factory and 36% of our retail range is now plant based.

Impact Report Highlights:

• We reduced our carbon intensity by 30% from our 2020 baseline (this is a measure of the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere per litre of ice cream).
• Our plant based ice cream uses up to 80% less land to produce than our dairy ice cream and emits 47% less carbon.
• Solar panels power 36% of our Twyford dairy and we have the UK's first walk in freezer with solar panels.
• Switching to paper lids for all 100ml tubs removed over 20 tonnes of plastic.
• We are a certified BCorp which means we’re committed to using business as a force for good; for our people, our community and our planet.
