About us

Tate & Lyle Sugars has been refining sugar continuously at Thames Refinery since 1878. Over 140 years later it’s still going strong and today employs over 500 people. Not many companies have remained a favorite household brand - producing the same family of products, at the same location, for well over a century - so what’s the secret of its success? The answer lies in its people and its core values: ambition, innovation and pace. So, while Tate & Lyle Sugars may still be based in the same place, new developments continue. In 2008, Tate & Lyle Sugars became the largest ever UK food and drink brand to switch to Fairtrade (starting with its granulated white sugar) and a project is currently underway to slash the refinery’s carbon footprint by over 25%, thanks to pioneering green technology developed by Tate & Lyle Sugars research and technology teams. In 2010 Tate & Lyle Sugars was acquired by American Sugar Refining, Inc., based in Yonkers, New York, it is the world’s largest cane sugar refining company, dedicated to cane sugar with a total refining capacity of over 6 million tons of sugar per annum. The company produces a full line of consumer, industrial, food service and specialty sweetener products. Across North America, American Sugar Refining owns and operates six sugar refineries -- in New York, California, Maryland, Louisiana, Canada and Mexico -- as well as specialty sweetener production facilities and a strategic warehousing and distribution system that combine to provide seamless production and delivery of its products to customers across the United States, Canada and Mexico. In the European Union, the company owns and operates sugar refineries in England and Portugal American Sugar Refining’s products are marketed through its brand portfolio that includes the premiere sugar brands Domino®, C&H®, Florida Crystals®, Redpath® and Tate & Lyle®.

    Our partnership with Fairtrade helps to uplift women and create sustainable livelihoods. To coincide with Fairtrade Fortnight 2024, we are celebrating positive female empowerment seen in communities that benefit from Fairtrade, while also highlighting the need for greater gender equality. Since 2008, Tate & Lyle Fairtrade licensed sales in the UK have generated an estimated £32 million in Fairtrade Premium – an additional sum of money that goes to the Fairtrade Producer Organisations and is democratically decided how to invest, depending on the priorities of farmers. Key initiatives funded by Tate & Lyle Sugars Fairtrade Premium have included a programme focused on female empowerment by The Progressive Sugarcane Producers Association. This pilot project engaged women across four communities in Belize, providing them with essential skills in financial literacy, economic opportunities, and hands-on training.

    Julia Clark, our Director of Sugar Ethics, recently visited Richard Cole's sugarcane farm in South Africa to learn about the importance of nurturing healthy ecosystems for long-term farm viability, as part of the 2024 SAI event in Durban South Africa.

    📣 As part of our 2024 Annual Event in Durban, South Africa last week, SAI Platform members had the opportunity to visit Ashbrook Farm, a 600-hectare sugar cane operation on the Kwazulu Natal South Coast. 🌱 Observing the long-term benefits of thrashing, meticulous nutrient management, and the integration of multi-species cover crops and livestock grazing on soil health, we heard how forward thinking farmer, Richard Cole's focus on building soil organic content and minimising chemical inputs has led to higher yields and reduced costs, all while mitigating environmental impact. 🧑🌾 From a social perspective, we learned about the transparent performance tracking systems and incentives for improvement that foster a culture of continuous learning and shared goals among farm staff. This has resulted in a loyal workforce with minimal turnover. 🌳 Richard's approach emphasises nurturing healthy ecosystems for long-term farm viability and the visit was a powerful reminder of the potential for regenerative agriculture to create positive environmental, economic, and social impacts. 🙏 Huge thanks to Richard Cole of Ashbrook Farm, Illovo Sugar Africa, Andrew Cochrane and Chris Fitz-Gerald for introducing us to this best in class example of regenerative agriculture in practice. Thanks also to Maarten de Haan, Anke Kwast, Julia Clark, Dionys Forster #SAIPlatform2024 #PeoplePoweredAgriculture

    We're very excited to announce the launch of our first original Lyle's Golden Syrup flapjacks, rolling out across UK supermarkets this month.   Flapjacks have long been a popular British treat, harkening back in origin to the 1600s. Since the introduction of Lyle’s Golden Syrup in 1883, our brand has been the key component in homemade flapjack recipes and today it is the number one baked format for the brand.   So, it's about time we created some ourselves! Our indulgent ready-to-eat flapjacks; delivering a well-rounded, enticing take on the well-loved British classic.   Our flapjacks are gloriously gooey and generous, made with the signature silky-smooth taste of Lyle’s Golden Syrup.   Would it be a push to say we're fashionably late? Available now in multipack at Sainsbury's and Ocado Retail. RRP £2.50

    A message for our neighbours in Newham regarding emissions this weekend…   This weekend at Thames Refinery, we will be restarting and testing the performance of a new gas turbine. From Saturday 15th to Monday 17th June, it is possible that some smoke and fumes may be noticeable coming from Thames Refinery chimneys. This will be temporary, is likely to last a few hours and we will do our best to keep it to an absolute minimum.   Specifically, we are testing the turbine operating on its secondary fuel at low power output. The normal, long term operating mode of the equipment will not result in smoke or fumes. The smoke is no cause for alarm, and we are communicating with stakeholders and the local community.   Should you need to reach out to us, please visit https://lnkd.in/evYqNbtJ, our dedicated portal for engaging with local residents.   Tate & Lyle Sugars works to continually improve our environmental sustainability and performance. In line with this we currently have a major project to upgrade our combustion plant at Thames Refinery including the installation of the new gas turbine. This will reduce emissions and improve air quality for all. This is just one step in an ongoing long-term emissions reduction and sustainability program.
