In addition to supporting over 3,000 jobs via
our Stores, Support office and Distribution
Centre, Superquinn also contributes to
supporting jobs indirectly with its strong
track record of sourcing the freshest local
produce from Irish producers.
At Superquinn:
4 out of every 5 euro we spend is on fresh produce from local Irish suppliers
100% of our fresh meat is Irish and fully traceable
Over 80% of the fish we buy is caught in our waters and lands in Irish ports
Our seafood counters are fully approved members of Bord Iascaigh Mhara’s ‘Seafood Circle’ initiative
We work with artisan suppliers to create award winning products
In April 2009 ten small or emerging food processing companies were presented with their certificates for successfully completing the Enterprise Ireland and Bord Bia sponsored Superquinn Supplier Development Programme. The programme was designed to support food companies in the service standards, product quality and innovation necessary to achieve product listings from retail multiples such as Superquinn.
Superquinn is vigilant in ensuring that the suppliers we work with, both directly and indirectly, are engaged in ethical sourcing practices. We work closely with our direct suppliers to be assured of this, and in turn our direct suppliers have strict procedures in place when working with their suppliers.
