Sustainability Policy

Committed to a sustainable future by reducing my environmental impact.

Plastic Free Champion

I’m proud to say that I am a Plastic Free Champion. In just a few short weeks I have gone from having very limited knowledge about sustainable business practices, to holding myself fully accountable in all the actions I take. I have put an action plan in place and am proud to share it with you.

If I can do it, so can you

I have removed a number of single use plastic items quickly, easily and cost effectively. Take, for example, milk bottles. Going from single use plastic bottles to having my milk delivered in glass bottles twice a week has been the easiest change. I have a number of other items delivered in plastic-free packaging to support my desire to remove single use plastics from my business and also my home.

Facing barriers head-on

As a small business I have a network of suppliers who don’t always have the same values as myself. Over the last few weeks I have been looking at expanding my network to use suppliers who are as committed to sustainable business practices as myself. Supporting others in a way we would like to feel supported is the first step in this cycle.

It’s not just about being plastic free

I am committed to a more positive sustainable business practice and this doesn’t just stop at being plastic-free. Whenever possible I cycle into town instead of using my car, I layer up instead of putting the heating on, and by teaching my children how to respect the world we live in, the next generation are well on their way to living in a safer, cleaner environment.

What are you waiting for?

We can all do our bit for the world we live in. We have one chance at getting this right, so what’s stopping you?
