Our Principles

Everything we do at Lodestone House is guided by a determination to do the right thing for both people and planet. This is what we mean by Social Value.

Not just through words, but measurable actions.

Our Values

We believe that Social Value has the greatest impact when it addresses the root causes of social and environmental issues.

We don't just talk the talk. To hold ourselves accountable, we have set publicly available, clear, measurable targets.

Pillars that create change

After careful consideration and engagement, we have identified our greatest levers for change across our garden, kitchen and classroom pillars.

Our targets

In the garden

One of our biggest levers for change is the food we purchase and put on the plate. Through data-led carbon reduction initiatives to supporting voluntary, community and social enterprises, we procure with purpose, so that your pupils and parents can have peace of mind.

Our targets

In the kitchen

In our kitchens, everyone is treated with the same level of care and respect. We’re proud to invest in our people, providing training and development so our teams feel supported, valued and ready to make a difference.

Our targets

In the classroom

The biggest positive impact we can have is empowering your pupils and the local communities you operate in with information about food, helping to instil lifelong healthy habits. Through supporting Holiday and Food programmes to community kitchens, this is about passing on our passion for food and cooking.

Achieving our goals

We will be working closely with our partner schools and organisations to deliver these objectives and have a meaningful impact in everything we do.
