ESG

At Science in Sport PLC, we take our responsibility and relationship with the world around us and the people within it seriously. It matters. 

As a Company, and as individual brands, we are more socially conscious now than ever before. As an industry leader, we have invested in packaging technology and plant to transition all protein powder products into recyclable pouch packaging, a first for the sports nutrition industry globally. As part of our strategy for growth, Science in Sport PLC will move to a new combined supply chain site comprising factory, warehouse and ecommerce dispatch facility in 2022. 

The new site will drive significant environmental improvements by reducing transport  miles  and  carbon  emissions, as well as create new opportunities for those living and working in Blackburn.
