Our Environmental Programme

We are committed to minimising our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices across our entire supply chain. Our approach is built on eight core principles that guide every aspect of our operation.

1. Compliance

  • We comply with local laws and regulations. Training keeps our team up-to-date with legislation, while internal audits help ensure we consistently meet high performance standards.

2. Responsible sourcing

  • We prioritise environmentally responsible and ethically managed suppliers. All natural woods are certified as sustainably sourced by Sri Lankan Forestry Department, while FSC certified rubber wood products currently represent 70% of our range.

3. Waste reduction

  • We actively minimise waste and find uses for by-products, including donating sawdust to local farmers as natural fertiliser. We have significantly reduced single use plastic consumption.

4. Minimising emissions

  • We minimise emissions by regular maintenance of machinery. We transport goods from Sri Lanka to the UK by sea and further reduce emissions by consolidating our shipping schedule.

5. Energy conservation

  • We invest in energy efficient equipment and renewable energy sources. Solar panels are installed at our UK warehouse and wood processing plant in Sri Lanka, generating clean energy and reducing reliance on traditional power sources.

6. Recycling

  • We champion recycling and reuse throughout, incorporating recycled and recyclable materials wherever possible. Local paper mill offcuts provide shred to protect products during transit.

7. Education and awareness

  • We work with producers to build environmental awareness, helping them recognise, understand, and reduce the environmental impact of their activities. Knowledge sharing creates lasting positive change.

8. Continuous improvement

  • We regularly review our environmental practices. Active engagement with producers and partners helps us identify areas for improvement.
