As a business, we are always reviewing our environmental impact. Each quarter our sustainability focus team get together to discuss the progress of our goals, achievements and future plans, all resulting in a more sustainable operation. 

Being in the packaging industry means that we live and breathe sustainability. Our team of experts with over 50 years experience have a focus to improve our own environmental impact and become a more sustainable business. 

What we are doing to become more sustainable:

• New premises: We recently moved from 4 buildings to 1 large distrution centre in Andover. This has helped create a more efficient operation and given us the ability to track the use of resources. 
• Improved road links: Being located in Andover has allowed us to improve our route planning, reducing our carbon footprint.
• Energy efficiency: We are soley powered by green energy and solar panels. Our building has twice the recommended warehouse roof lighting and we are using motion lighting.
• Water consumption: We monitor our water consumption and are always looking for new ways to reduce the amount we use. 
• Electric Car Charging points: We have recently installed electric car charging points.
