Sustainability Initiatives

Product Packaging

We're continuously collaborating with our suppliers to improve packaging sustainability by reducing plastic use and transitioning to recyclable materials such as paper hexi wrap, in line with the PPWD directive to lower our carbon footprint.

EPR and EUDR

We're compliant with EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) and EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation). We manage the full lifecycle of our products, including their disposal and recycling, to minimise environmental impact. We work closely with our suppliers to verify material sources and maintain transparent supply chains.

Solar Power

We have have 2,037 bifacial solar panels in operation, generating approximately 961.2 MWh of renewable electricity each year. This initiative reduces our carbon footprint by over 630,540 kg annually and allows us to return surplus energy to the national grid.

Recycling and Circular Economy

We give materials a second life wherever possible, turning incoming cartons into shredded filler and using recyclable materials to pack orders. With recycling stations across our sites and support from our Green Champions team, we ensure waste is properly sorted, helping reduce our environmental footprint.
