How we can help

SUSTAINABILITY BROCHURE

From sourcing local where possible to selecting eco-friendly product alternatives for clients, it’s the consideration of every aspect, however small, that makes a real difference.

Packaging: 40% of the cardboard boxes we use are reused from goods in, and we endeavour to ensure our plastic is made from 100% recycled materials.

Sourcing Local: We make every effort to use local suppliers and manufacturers, cutting down on travel emissions, and ‘buying British’ wherever possible.

Combining Deliveries: We encourage customers to place orders less often to reduce carbon emissions.

The Products: Many products are selected for their innovation, and eco-friendly properties.
