Environment
Sustainability is a fundamental factor that guides our direction and our actions. We believe delivering our goals must not come at a cost to people, communities, or the environment. Embedded in our culture, sustainability influences all our decisions.
The future of our business rests on delivering innovation through products, design, and service together with our drive to develop people, products and great retail spaces whilst doing no harm.
Our sustainability journey is one of continuous improvement. We are by no means perfect. The sustainable option may sometimes be out of our reach due to limitations like being in a rented building, or costs beyond our immediate reach. However, when facing any decision, we commit to making the most sustainable choice within our available resources.
Products
Our biggest impact is from developing more environmentally friendly products and services. By manufacturing our own range of biopolymer retail lighting we can make more sustainable decisions related to product design, the raw materials we use, their packaging and how our products are distributed.
Circularity
We have taken bold steps towards adopting a circular economy model, minimising waste, and maximising resource efficiency. Our products and services extend the life span of our products and we’ve made repairing, upgrading, reusing and recycling them easy through Circu-light.
Suppliers
We prioritize a responsible supply chain by ensuring our purchasing decisions for Shoplight are influenced by the credentials of the organizations we buy from. This approach helps us maintain high standards and ethical practices in our operations. It’s not just about cost. We also prefer to buy locally and work with other B Corp‘s and organisations who consider their impact on people and the planet.
Travel
We choose to train overdrive wherever possible, tracking our impact with the Trainline’s Carbon Calculator. Most of our company vehicles are electric. As van ranges improve, we can consider electric vans for replacements.
