Suma Wholefoods

Suma is the UK’s largest independent wholefood wholesaler/distributor, specialising in vegetarian, fairly traded, organic, ethical and natural products. We are a workers’ co-operative committed to ethical business. Workers co-operative Unlike most UK companies, Suma operates a thoroughly democratic system of management that isn’t bound by the conventional notions of hierarchy. As a workers’ co-operative the business is jointly owned and managed by all of us. Everyone is paid the same and we collectively do all the jobs that need doing, whatever they happen to be. For more information about co-opertives visit www.cooperatives-uk.coop Buying Ethics All our products are diligently sourced; all are vegetarian and where eggs are an ingredient, they are free-range. We stock organic versions of everything we can, support fair-trade as a licensee of the Fairtrade Foundation and all our bodycare, cosmetic and household products are cruelty-free. Vegetarian We are one of the few businesses in the UK that sell only vegetarian produce. You can be assured that all of our products are 100% vegetarian from our sweets to our tooth-brushes. That means no meat, no fish and no animal derived nasties like gelatin or rennet. We are also a member of the Vegetarian Society, who aide us in promoting a healthy, vegetarian lifestyle. www.vegsoc.org
