Heck! Foods manufacture sausages that are sold throughout main retailers in the UK. As a family business, sustainability has always been a key focus and they have adopted methods such as vertical farming to lower their carbon footprint. In 2024 Heck decided to further their sustainability plans by integrating a solar PV system. Not only will this greatly reduce their operational costs but will also reduce their CO2 emissions.
