Ask UK supermarkets to take pesticide products off their shelves

We are calling on supermarkets to end the sale of synthetic pesticide products in their gardening range. Thanks to your action, Waitrose and the Co-op have already removed these poisons from their shelves, but we need the rest of the UK’s biggest supermarkets to do the same.

CEOs care about their supermarket’s public image and they have the clout to make big changes. As a customer, you have the power to sound the alarm and tell your supermarket to take these poisons off their shelves. Take our quick online action below.

A personalised message is likely to have more impact so do feel free to edit the text to explain why this issue is so important to you. You can choose to email all UK supermarkets or just the ones you shop at regularly.

Aldi – Giles Hurley, UK Chief Executive

Asda - Kris Comerford, Chief Commercial Officer

I am writing as one of your longstanding customers to ask you to follow the Co-op and Waitrose’s lead and end the sale of all synthetic pesticide products in your gardening range. I am deeply concerned that these products are harming human health and the environment. Our gardens should be healthy habitats in which people, wildlife and pets can flourish without being exposed to toxic chemicals. Given the considerable influence of UK supermarkets, ending the sale of pesticide products would be a huge step forward in the achievement of this goal. Your commitment to protecting the environment and increasing biodiversity are undermined by the continued sale of these pesticide products. Removing them from your shelves for good is a quick and simple way to reduce pesticide-related harms linked to your operations. The time to act is now! Both Co-op and Waitrose have decided to remove all high-risk synthetic pesticide products from their shelves and I’m asking you to do the same. The time to act is now! Please help lead the way in the UK by ending the sale of these products to the public.  I’d be hugely grateful if you could respond to this message to let me know whether you plan to stop selling pesticide products and if so by which date.
