Our Environment
Our customers are as conscious about the environment as we are. That’s why we have been leading the way when it comes to sustainable practices in the manufacturing industry.
From reducing our carbon footprint and supporting initiatives designed to limit our reliance on fossil fuels to responsibly sourcing materials and investing in their regeneration, we are committed to making a difference.
We offset over 1,643 tonnes of CO2 between 2017 and 2020.
FSC®-certified supplier
We are dedicated to sustainable sourcing, ensuring that our materials meet the highest environmental standards. Our wood comes from well-maanged, FSC®-certified forests and other controlled sources. By choosing an FSC®-certified product, you’re making a greener, more responsible choice for the planet. Look out for our FSC®-certified products.
The Planet Mark
We are very proud to be the first UK bed manufacturer to receive the Planet Mark accreditation for taking action to stop climate change. Together with Cool Earth, which works alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation, we helped protect an acre of rainforest.
The Planet Mark recognises outstanding achievements and actions in organisations that are helping to stop climate change.
Carbon offsetting
We have been carbon neutral since 2017 and are very proud to say that no waste has gone to landfill since 2012. From offsetting our carbon emissions to planting trees in our community, we’re striving for sustainability in all we do. Since 2017, we have offset a total of 1,643 tonnes of CO₂ from within our factory.
Newly installed for 2021, 591 energy-saving solar panels have been fitted across our entire 9,376 m2 manufacturing facility in Kent. The panels, made from silicon, will help generate power for 25 percent of our manufacturing plant’s energy, while the remaining 75 percent will be purchased through renewable electricity.
Sustainability
Whilst striving for quality and great value for our customers, sustainability is at the forefront of our business. This approach requires all of our timber suppliers to forest sustainably, ensuring the materials purchased are from sustainably managed forests. We also ensure that none of the waste from our factory goes to landfill.
Our dedication to helping preserve our environment and reduce our carbon emissions has resulted in us achieving Planet Mark certification and Carbon Neutral Organisation status. As part of our carbon offsetting initiative, we work with local schools in a tree planting programme, which allows us to share with young people the importance of sustainability and caring for our environment.
