How We're Supporting Sustainability
We are changing the way we do business to preserve natural resources and the environment, by reducing waste and reusing or recycling materials, when possible.
We employ a dedicated Sustainability Officer who is a subject matter expert and works with all aspects of the business, to promote an understanding and awareness of sustainability issues and advance our net-zero carbon initiatives.
We focus on diminishing our consumption of natural resources, using sustainable options and striving to improve our environmental performance.
This covers all aspects of our business from reduced use of energy, paper and printing, to a car fleet that is converting to electric and hybrid vehicles.
We use the minimum amount of packaging to ensure our products arrive to you in good condition and use recycled materials wherever possible.
Partnering with our customers is paramount to meeting our sustainability goals. We aim to help you by providing more eco-friendly products, manufactured with renewable energy.
