We want to ensure our products are sourced and used responsibly, minimising their environmental impact on the planet. We have already achieved zero waste to landfill status, and introduced many products which have recycled content, are recyclable as well as paper based. Furthermore, all our cardboard boxes are manufactured with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) accreditation. To make responsible consumption as easy as possible for customers, we are developing a product carbon footprint range for our products, so that customers can make educated decisions.

We recognise the necessity of urgent climate action and are committed to reducing our emissions in line with science-based targets. We are making significant reductions in our Scope 1 and 2 emissions, through the introduction of our electric fleet of vehicles and undertaking our energy efficiency project, which includes solar-generated power at our office in Horsforth. We aim to cut our emissions 50% by 2030, with a view to reducing our Scope 3 emissions too and becoming net-zero by 2050 latest. We will also be investing in certified carbon-offsetting projects to offset the carbon emissions which cannot be reduced.

We want to protect marine life, and ensure we are not contributing to the global issue of plastic pollution entering our oceans. We actively promote recycling, and many of our products have recycled content in them and are 100% recyclable. To assist customers wanting to transition away from plastic, we also offer paper-based solutions too.

We recognise that the only way to achieve sustainable development is through working together. Creating positive impacts for our customers and our wider communities, whilst protecting the environment, is our central goal. We donate to a wide range of global charities, and our employees actively fundraise for their charities of choice. Read Our Eco Mission Statement to find out more about our goals.
