Our sustainable action plan

We are committed to a comprehensive sustainable action plan that aligns with our GHG report and reflects our dedication to reducing carbon emissions. Our primary focus is on scopes 1, 2, and 3, and we are taking proactive steps to minimise our environmental impact. Through strategic initiatives and responsible practices, we aim to lead by example in fostering a greener, more sustainable future.

Impact

No ordinary plan

We have investigated all environmental legislation and compliance standards that apply to our business and industry, and curated a sustainable action plan designed to establish clear environmental objectives and reinforce green behaviour at all organisation levels.

Making eco-friendly practices a part of our business ethos ensures a fast track towards our ultimate goal of building a greener future, and a workforce that shares a common vision.

Emissions

Scope 1 & 2 Action Plan

Sustainable lighting in our office

All lights in our office are energy efficient and are on motion sensors, so that lights are not being used when no one is in the office. Status: Completed Feb 2023.

No waste to landfill from our office

A company takes all waste from our office and none of it goes to landfill. All waste is either recycled or turned into biomass. Status: Moved over to this system January 2023.

Favouring train travel

By all employees wherever possible on long and frequent journeys. Status: In progress since July 2024.

Scope 3 Action Plan

What our whole website is centred around, the upstream and downstream activities of our organisation.

Full transparency

With product information, allowing customers to make informed sustainable decisions

On our website we provide as much data as possible on our products, including CO2 saving, country of manufacture, percentage of renewable energy, packaging etc. This allows our customers to make informed decisions, based on clear sustainable data. Status: Completed. Gathered information together 2023, and launched new website Sept 2023.

Our carriers

Who use optimal routing and loading of trucks

Ensuring optimal routing allows for reducing of travelled distance for freight, therefore reducing the carbon emissions of fuel combustion. Status: Completed. Started June 2023.

Incentives

To encourage customers to buy more sustainably

We encourage customers to buy more sustainably by planting trees and investing in carbon reductions schemes on their behalf. This directly correlates to how sustainable the products they have purchased are. Status: Completed. Started with launch of new website Sept 2023.

Increased accuracy

Of our GHG report year on year

By providing more activity-based data over financial based data, our GHG reporting has become more accurate. An example of this is providing data on each delivery made by our carriers, including the weight and distance of each delivery, instead of just providing our spend with our carriers. Status: In progress. Year on year becoming more accurate, improved significantly the accuracy of the last financial year reporting.

Bringing in more

Sustainable product options where possible

We are constantly working with customers and suppliers to find more sustainable product options. Status: In progress. This is a constant objective, and we will always be striving to bring in better, more sustainable products.
