Environmental & Social Responsibility
It is important to Newby that production methods stand up from the point of view of product quality and sustainability.

Newby is a member of the Ethical Tea Partnership, a global not-for-profit organisation. Through this partnership, it is committed to improving the lives and environment of tea workers throughout the world. ETP aims to make tea production better, fairer and more environmentally sustainable.

Product Quality
Newby buys teas from a variety of gardens. This gives greater freedom of choice than tea companies, which may be locked into contracts with specific suppliers.
Newby tests samples of the teas it buys at multiple stages. Initial tasting is later followed by a further check prior to shipment, and another on receipt, ensuring this high quality tea is maintained and complies with the requirements of the EU Food Safety Standards.
The Newby production centre has received the highest accreditation by BRC Global Standards and its factory is compliant with HACCP standards (grade A+).
Product Packaging
The environmental impact of Newby’s packaging is an area that is continuously examined and evolving. Furthermore, Newby tea bags have been certified as being biodegradable, made from wood pulp and abaca and the Silken Pyramid bags are made from corn starch.
As a company which values social responsibility, Newby continues to refine its processes and look for new ways to comply with environmental standards.
