The Environment
Our prime ambition is the focus on the Three Rs,
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Looking around at the way our planet is being treated is upsetting. Some say think of future generations, our thoughts are of today, of how we are living in an ever enlarging garbage dump. The future is very important, but right now, this is where we have the opportunity to fix things.
When we look in the mirror, we see you looking back!
It is important that you understand, we want the same things you do and we have put together our list of things that we feel are core values to us.
Three core sections, The Environment, Our Products, Our Staff are important to us.
Excessive Packaging
Convenient?
Easier to display?
Our Environmental Promise
1. We will not sell food in packages
2. You will be allowed to bring in your own containers to fill and reuse.
3. We will have a special space for you to rinse and weigh your containers
4. The containers we supply will be recyclable
Our Products
Berfia brings products from all around the world. What we know is that the needs of our customers should not be restricted by distances or borders.
Spice, health and beauty, confections and fresh foods arrive daily in our stores. To do that we tried to meet both the economical factors of food purchasing, meaning, we know that there is a group of us that are price aware. We also try to meet the ethical issues that we are faced using a global supply.
Our product promises are made to you at the product in the store. The signage will indicate to you the information you need to make the decision that best suits you and your personal choices.
Supporting your choices are important to us at Befria.
