Reducing Our Environmental Impact

We’ve been collaborating with a carbon offsetting expert to accurately measure our carbon footprint and explore ways to reduce it. This initiative has allowed us to offset emissions generated by our business operations wherever possible. Through this effort, we’ve proudly contributed to several sustainability projects in countries like China, Brazil, and even Australia, furthering our commitment to environmental responsibility on a global scale

Small Actions, Big Impact

We understand that every small step counts when it comes to being kinder to the planet. That's why we've made several eco-friendly changes in our office and warehouse this year. By switching all our regular lightbulbs to energy-efficient LEDs, we're saving energy. Baling our waste and sending it for recycling helps reduce landfill use. Additionally, we've implemented a more effective recycling system in our office, ensuring that recyclable materials are properly handled and not unnecessarily discarded. These initiatives are part of our ongoing efforts to create a greener, more sustainable workplace.

Additional Ways We’re Contributing

  • Sustainable Packaging

    We’ve upgraded our sample packaging to be 100% recyclable and swapped out plastic polystyrene wrapping for a reusable alternative. Most of our sample packs now come in recyclable boxes, though we still occasionally use our older non-recyclable bags to avoid unnecessary waste. But don’t worry—these bags are being phased out and won’t be around for much longer, as we continue to transition toward more sustainable packaging solutions.

  • Eco-Friendly IT Facilities

    We host our website on Shopify Compute (SCP), which has been carbon-neutral since 2007 and is set to become completely carbon-free by 2030. In addition, we ensure that all our computers and IT equipment are either reused or recycled. We avoid printing whenever possible and make sure to recycle all used toner cartridges. These small but impactful changes help minimize waste and reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills, furthering our commitment to sustainability.

  • Volunteer Program

    We offer a volunteering scheme that allows our staff to take time off work to support a charity or participate in a community initiative, all without sacrificing any pay. We’re always eager to expand our impact, so if you know of a charity or social enterprise in need of extra hands, please reach out and let us know! We're committed to giving back and making a difference where it's needed most.
