To build a better world
We all want to do our bit for the environment but it’s not always easy to do so. With our Better World range, we are making it easier for you to make greener product choices you can trust, which are better for people, planet, and your business. Each product is tagged with our Better World badge and a description on its sustainability improvement. Whether you’re passionate about products that are made from greener materials, want solutions that help you save energy, reduce waste and water, or are looking for items that are designed to last longer – our range is here to help. We’ve broadened our framework to include a wider range of sustainability improvements and claims and split the products into three categories:
MADE MORE SUSTAINABLY Produced using more sustainable materials or manufacturing processes.
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION Products that help you run your business more sustainably; from reducing energy and emissions to protecting health and safety.
SUPPORTS CIRCULARITY Products with an increased lifespan, or can be reused, repaired or recycled to reduce waste.
We are continuously striving to enhance our offer, introducing a broader spectrum of improvements. We are on a journey, making progress with each step to create a positive change for our planet, one product at a time.
