RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

Better choices, from the start

We work with a network of carefully selected factories, including FSC certified paper mills, that actively reduce their environmental impact and improve local communities.

Raw materials are sourced locally wherever possible and we help our suppliers implement recycling systems and continuous improvement plans.

SUSTAINABLE OPTIONS

What we can make it from

Recycling and minimising waste is part of the design and manufacturing process rather than a step at the end. It starts with how we recycle in our own offices and extends to the way we work with suppliers, the materials we produce and what we recommend to clients.

Biodegradable organic cotton clothing and bags
FSC paper and wooden products for craft, stationery and packaging
Multi-use water bottles
Biodegradable bamboo fibre coffee cups and dinnerware

Lower carbon shipping

We offer slow steaming and other low emission freight options to reduce our carbon footprint.

Smart packaging

We use recyclable packaging materials wherever possible and minimise waste.

Expert guidance

Our team stays up to date with the latest labelling and compliance requirements to support your goals.

ETHICAL TRADE

People at the heart of our supply chain

We are an active member of Sedex, and work with our factories to ensure they meet the ETI base code.

Our key partners are regularly audited to internationally recognised standards including SMETA, BSCI and ILS, with ongoing monitoring and support from our experienced team in the UK and China.
