That is why sustainable behaviours are adopted right across the business from our material sourcing to manufacturing, right through to depot waste management and our distribution fleet. With low-cost production in dedicated factories in the UK, we are able to minimise waste, energy, and raw materials with a goal to reach carbon-neutral manufacturing by 2022. We also continue to develop and re-engineer our products to ensure we meet our mission statement of “no-call-back on quality”, so we produce and source products, which are durable, safe, and continue to benefit the environment.

This supports local communities where our factories are based and also brings the environmental benefits of shorter supply chains.
