Protect our Planet

Inspired by nature, driven by passion; that's our company ethos. So from the raw natural ingredients that we use in our products to the way we run our business, we believe that we can help protect the environment and support sustainable development.


To do this we promote the use of renewable resources and sustainable raw ingredients, supporting sustainable wood through the use of Forest Stewardship Council certified wood products. We actively strive to minimise waste and the unnecessary use of excess packaging on our products. We use renewable energy, we are planting trees to absorb the carbon we produce, and have committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2010.


We listen to our stakeholders and work closely with WWF on palm oil and wood to protect rainforests and preserve biodiversity. And our leadership approach to the use of chemicals has been recognised by Friends of the Earth, The US Breastcancer Fund and Greenpeace.
