Working towards a more sustainable future

It's essential for everyone within our business to consider the impact of what we do. So we're working together to make improvements where it matters on our journey towards a more sustainable future.

Caring for the planet

We're taking steps to lessen our impact on the planet because we recognise this is the right thing to do. We've focused on our operational waste and carbon emissions to reduce our impact on the planet while continuing to grow the business.

Sustainable products

We recognise the importance of increasing the sustainability and circularity of our products, and right now we're focused on growing the proportion of sustainable fabrics across our range.

We've defined sustainable fabrics as being made from a minimum of 50% more sustainable materials that we consider to have a lower environmental impact to conventional alternatives.

Look out for our ‘sustainable choice’ logo, indicating fabrics meeting this definition and making it easier for our customers to find them.

What we’ve done so far

In collaboration with the experts at House Beautiful we launched a naturally sustainable collection of Natural Bamboo blinds 

We've increased the number of products made from natural fibres

We've helped our customers make more sustainable choices by educating them about the insulating and cooling benefits of window dressings

We're passionate about our people and proud to be part of the communities we work in. From social events to charity commitments and giving every colleague a voice, we believe in succeeding together and creating an inclusive and diverse place to work.
