COMMITTED TO DOING
We only have one planet and we truly believe in doing our bit to minimise our impact. From our fleet of vehicles, our offices or our client solutions, here are some of the things we are doing to be a bit more environmentally friendly.
Here are some of our planet-friendly initiatives:
In Our Offices
Here are some of the initiatives we’ve taken to try to be more sustainable in our working spaces:
- Computers shut down overnight to reduce emissions
- We actively run campaigns to encourage others to recycle ink toners, donating profits to our charity of the year
- Using water bottles rather than single-use plastic or paper.
- Encouraging employees walking / cycling to work
Head over to our blog where we share more insights into how our team manage sustainability in our South Office.
In Our Depots
Our depots are home to a large number of our products. Not only we are constantly looking at ways to ensure we are improving our processes, but also trying to make changes towards a more sustainable way of working, so far we have managed to:
- Pilot a scheme in one region where we’ve eradicated the use of outer cardboard boxes
- Recycle many supply chain materials, like pallets, pallet toppers, plastic strapping, bottle tops and others.
- When managing furniture fit-outs, we’re recycling 98% of the old office furniture
- Use of LED lighting
- Computers shut down over night
- Environmentally-safe recycling waste
Electric Delivery Fleet
Doing our best to reduce environmental pollution, in 2022 we launched our electric van and vehicle fleet.
Our goal is to change the whole fleet to electric in less than 4 years.
Supporting & Encouraging Our Clients
We believe supporting our clients to be more sustainable will also make a positive impact on both people and planet. We encourage our clients to use eco/sustainable products (without compromising on quality) and encourage them to order in bulk rather than several orders per month/week. Small changes can make a huge impact, and we’re here to support our community the best we can!
Environmental Dashboard
To support our clients in finding sustainable solutions to their needs, Supplies Web’s clients have access to our Environmental Dashboard. In this Dashboard, clients can see non-eco-aware items out of their usage and replace these with Eco-friendly options. This helps clients identify opportunities for change that can reduce clients’ environmental impact, as well as ours.
Get in touch with our friendly team to set up a dashboard for you so you can see how you can be more sustainable in your business solutions.
Putting people and communities first
We are committed to looking after our people and the communities we are part of. From working with like-minded suppliers, fundraising for local charities or even donating a tonne of food to nearby foodbanks, at Supplies Web we are committed to making a difference to the planet and the people in it.
Carbon Offsetting
This Spring we’ve managed to offset 15% more than we did last year – that’s 2.42 tCO2e from our print jobs alone ♻️ As a business we firmly believe in learning how to be more sustainable and minimise our environmental impact – just because you can’t do everything, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do something, right?
