Simple Bakes’ Social & Environmental Impact: Baking with Purpose

Handcrafted vegan & gluten-free bakes that care for people and the planet.

Why Social & Environmental Impact Matters in Baking

Food isn’t just about flavour, it’s about the footprint it leaves behind. It's about leaving the planet a little better than we found it.

At Simple Bakes, we believe every recipe should make the world a little sweeter and a little better. That’s why we’ve baked sustainability, inclusivity, and community support into everything we do.

Our Mission & Core Values

Because baking should be as good for the planet as it is for our taste buds:

🌱 Sustainable Ingredients

We prioritise natural, plant-based ingredients. Real, honest goodness, no shortcuts, no compromises.

♻️ Eco-Friendly Practices

Recyclable packaging today, compostable options tomorrow. We’re constantly improving to keep things green from kitchen to doorstep.

✨ Inclusive Baking

Gluten-free? Vegan? Or simply curious? Everyone’s welcome at our table.

Great food should never exclude anyone, and we never sacrifice taste or texture.

🤝 Community Focus

We team up with local coffee shops, small businesses, and charities to support the people who make our communities thrive.

🚫 Waste Reduction

We bake to order, fresh, thoughtful, and without the guilt of food waste. Because nothing should end up in the bin (except maybe the baking paper).

❤️ Social Responsibility

Extra bakes don’t go to waste. They go to local food banks and community fridges, turning surplus into smiles.

Our Social Impact: People First

Community Engagement

• Partnering with local coffee shops and independent businesses.

• Donating surplus bakes to food banks and community fridges.

Great ideas, and great flavours, come from all backgrounds.

Education & Awareness

Through events and school partnerships, we’re spreading the word about sustainability and why inclusive baking matters.
