We have joined a growing community of forward-thinking businesses by committing to actions to ensure sustainable business performance. We pledge to make a positive impact on people around us, whether it’s our employees, customers or suppliers and to have a positive effect on the community and the wider environment.

We pledge to consider the social and environmental impact of every single element of our products and processes, the packaging we use, and using land, energy and water wisely. We will measure our impacts, and we will urge our supply chain to follow this example.

Well-being of our staff and wider community:

We will ensure that our business is socially responsible by ensuring we pay our employees a decent living wage, provide them with flexible working conditions, and we will offer products and services which benefit the public health and the well-being of the wider community. See the FairPlay Employer Award we received from Chwarae Teg for our efforts.

Products & Services:

We promise to procure and supply robust and durable products and look to ensure all products are easily recycled and/or reused. A great resource for learning more about plastics recycling can be found at the British Plastics Federation website.

Appropriate packaging:

We will ensure all packaging products are sourced from sustainable sources and are easily recycled. For more information, visit FSC-UK.org. We’ve chosen to partner with Kite Packaging as they are FSC accredited and have a great selection of environmentally friendly packaging solutions.

Using land, energy and water wisely:

We will procure 100% renewable energy tariffs for our business premises and use delivery partners that take steps to improve fuel efficiency and utilise electric vehicles wherever possible. We’re using Octopus Energy for 100% of our energy needs and DPD for our delivery needs.

Measuring impacts:

We will undertake a carbon footprinting exercise annually to assess the impact we have and determine improvements we can make. See Carbon Trust for a handy SME Carbon Footprint Calculator
