CSR in practice

Our approach to CSR

CSR is integrated into the way we operate our business. Through a range of initiatives across our people, products, operations and supply chain, we aim to consider environmental, social and governance factors in our decision-making..

Packaging

We are implementing a packaging programme focused on reducing plastic use, improving the recyclability of our packaging, and reducing material consumption where technically feasible. Progress is monitored through annual packaging reviews.

Products

We are introducing products in selected categories that incorporate recycled plastic materials. In addition, we support repairability by making repair services and spare parts available for selected products.

Office

Our office and distribution centre include solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems and EV charging facilities. CSR-related assessments, including EcoVadis and M2030, help inform our ongoing CSR initiatives and business practices.

Suppliers 

We require suppliers to comply with our supplier standards and to participate in programmes such as BSCI and SA8000 assessments where applicable.
