A third of Britain’s species of wild bees and hoverflies are in decline and, if current trends continue, it is predicted that some of these will be lost from the country altogether*.
Iceland’s pesticide policy demands that our own label foods must be sourced, grown, produced and distributed in compliance with all relevant UK and EU legislation relating to pesticides, wherever they happen to be located, and we insist that our suppliers and growers must act responsibly in respect of pesticides, demonstrating compliance with all relevant regulations. This includes requesting that suppliers are certified against Assured Produce and Global Gap standards. We also endorse all programmes that have Integrated Crop Management (ICM) Systems as their core objective. We do not sell any pesticide products for use in the home.
