Caring for the planet

We're committed to reducing our impact on the planet. We're working on recycling and reducing our operational waste and carbon emissions across our sites.

Our progress

Waste

  • We recycle all plastic films and spools across our manufacturing sites

    Saving 66 tonnes from general waste

  • In 2023, we increased the recycled content of our packaging by 2.5% in weight reaching a total of 77%, as well as achieving a 3.3% increase in our recyclable packaging, totaling 80.8%

    We also replaced bubble wrap with embossed cardboard in our Metal Venetian blind packaging, saving 6.8 tonnes of plastic a year

  • In 2023 we also made improvements in our curtains and Roller blind production processes

    Saving 35 tonnes of fabric from waste

Carbon emissions

  • In 2022, we added more electric vehicle charging points

    We now have seven rapid chargers across three sites

  • We've installed solar panels across our sites

    Starting with our head office in 2022, we've now installed a total of 133kW of solar panels across our sites

  • As of 2023, 91% of our lighting across sites is LED

    And all offices and communal spaces have motion sensors

  • We source 100% of our electricity from renewable sources

    These are backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO)

  • "One of our core values is continuous improvement, and our commitment to sustainability proves this. We're always looking for better, more efficient ways to do things and reduce our impact on the planet."

  • Continue improving product packaging by:

    - Reducing packaging use

    - Improving recyclability

    - Increasing recycled content

  • Keep exploring commerically viable ways to repurpose or recycle textile waste

  • Review additional sites for solar power installation

  • Complete waste audits across all our sites and act on findings
