“We recognise that all consumer goods have an impact on the environment throughout the product lifecycle”

Responsible Products

We have researched the lifecycles of some typical products made by Pentland brands and proposed 10 principles to help make improvements at every stage of the lifecycle, from design through to end of life disposal. Our findings are published in Responsible Products – Concepts and Consequences. Read more

Our brands are working on some exciting new initiatives towards more responsible products. There is a strong emphasis on the use of recycled and recyclable materials for our products and packaging, and we’re also working with our suppliers to reduce the environmental impacts of the manufacturing process.

Our Workplaces

Improving the environmental management of our workplaces is high on our agenda.

Our initiatives include reusing and recycling what we can, reducing our waste to landfill, reducing energy consumption, increasing staff awareness and engagement, and utilising technologies such as video conferencing to reduce business travel.

Global and Local Communities

As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, we are committed to aligning our business with universally accepted environmental Principles and must report yearly on our efforts. Our reports can be found under United Nations Global Compact in Partnerships.

We also support many worthwhile local and global environmental initiatives and charities. (see Community)
