Sustainability

What we’ve done so far

  • Developed a carbon reduction plan
  • Measured our Scope 1 & 2 emissions
  • Allowed hybrid working where the roles allow it
  • Replaced our warehouse lighting with LED lights
  • Used Octopus Energy since 2018 to ensure that all our energy needs are from 100% renewable sources
  • Replaced the lighting in two of the offices with movement controlled LED lighting
  • Provided all warehouse staff with heated bodywarmers to reduce heating within warehouse during the colder months
  • Provided a company electric bike for commuting
  • Introduced an electric car into the fleet
  • Replaced our older company van with a newer diesel van with the lowest emissions we could find. (At the time of replacement the range of electric vans just wasn’t sufficient for our needs).
  • Partnered with The Recycling Partnership to remove all cardboard, plastic and paper waste for recycling
  • Partnered with Sustain to provide a furniture recycling service to our clients
  • Partnered with DPD to source the greenest possible solution for our couriered items

What we’ve still got to do…

  • Start measuring scope 3 emissions so that we can work towards being truly net zero
  • Replace our company van with an even lower emission solution when it’s due for renewal
  • Promote our furniture recycling service to even more customers to allow them to meet their sustainability goals
  • Gain accreditation for our work so far
