Our green credentials

Environmentally responsible working practices are a high priority for us. Whether in terms of our ethical duty to reduce our carbon footprint or in our use of resources to ensure the continued success of our business.

We were the first company to achieve Level 3 accreditation of the Green Dragon Environmental Standard. This involved being assessed on a whole range of activities and their environmental impact, such as use and disposal of paper, plastics and packaging.

In 2002, all the waste we produced went into a landfill. By 2007, we were recyclying 90% of it, despite an increase in production over the same period of almost 100%.

We use raw materials as efficiently as possible - the wood, paper and cardboard used is from sustainably managed forests to minimise the use of natural resources. Any wood based waste generated is then recycled, as are the vast majority of plastics.

MFC board is a major component in the manufacture of kitchen furniture and we always use one that complies to the Quality Management System ISO 9000:2000, to ensure that it is an environmentally firendly alternative to imported hardwood. Also, the MFC products used are manufactured under the FSC chain of custody accreditation that the wood used is sousrced from well managed sustainable forests.

We are also a certified member of the WEEE Distributor Take Back Scheme which is an appliance recycling so that we can take your old appliances and dispose of them ethically.
