Our Sustainability Manager, Steph Neumann, explains how we work diligently every day to assist our customers in reducing their impact on the planet.
Regardless of your sector, sustainability is a pressing issue. The environmental consequences of PPE equipment are undeniable, and effective waste management practices are increasingly important. However, there is plenty we can do to minimise this impact while ensuring safe working environments.
For us, sustainable PPE is not just a trend; it’s a vital component of our offerings.
As part of our supply chain, we understand that we contribute to your Scope 3 emissions, and we are committed to reducing this impact. Many of our customers are increasingly interested in the sustainable attributes of the products we supply, which is one of the reasons we developed our Product Award. This serves as an objective visual indicator of a product’s sustainabiity, helping you make more informed, sustainable decisions.
As part of our SBTi approved carbon reduction targets, we’re working with our largest suppliers of goods and services to set science-based carbon reduction targets over the next five years.
Helping you go green
We have several initiatives that support our customers in being more sustainable.
Our recycling service ensures PPE products are securely and responsibly disposed of, which improves the end-of-life product recyclability and strives for a more circular solution where available.
We recognise that achieving sustainability begins with understanding your business’s impact on the planet. To make this easy, our Carbon Forecast tool generates straightforward reports to help you assess the carbon footprint associated with processing and delivering each order.
More than just safety supplies: Our collaborative approach to sustainability.
Many of our customers don’t have dedicated sustainability teams to assist with reporting or measuring the various aspects of sustainability.
Because of the strong relationships we build, they often turn to us for support. Here are just some of the ways we can work with you.
- Support with answering supplier assessment questionnaires
- Present our sustainability offering in tender presentations
- Identify charitable avenues for unused unbranded PPE/Workwear, rather than sending them for destruction
- Serve as your PPE supplier representative in presentations to industry peers, highlighting our collaborative efforts.
