Sustainable Packaging Commitment
We have implemented a' reduce, reuse, recycle' strategy and transferred to recycled and
recyclable packing materials for our fabric shipments.
We appreciate those customers who have taken the initiative to return the cardboard fabric
tubes to us and reuse our packaging for onward shipping. All the packaging materials that we
purchase are recycled and recyclable.
Onsite Carbon Footprint Reduction
We aim to reduce our carbon footprint by 12.5% in the financial year 2020/21. This is
measured using the Carbon Trust’s calculation for small and medium sized businesses, which
focuses primarily on fuel and electricity consumption.
Each team has identified what they can do (however small) to contribute to this target. It
may be as simple as switching off lights, managing the use of the air conditioning and
heaters more efficiently or increasing awareness about the impact of national and
international travel.
