Our shops are recognised for their contribution to diverting waste away from landfill through reuse and recycling.
However, there are other ways that our shops can make a difference and this activity falls into the following key themes:
| Waste | - diverting waste from landfill through waste miminisation, reuse and recycling |
| Energy | - saving energy to help reduce CO2 emissions |
| Water | - introducing waste saving devices |
| Transport | - encouraging staff, volunteers and customers to travel wisely |
| New Build | - to build new shops as sustainably as possible |
| Sustainable procurement | - use eco-friendly shop supplies |
Over the coming months we shall be introducing policies and practices to improve on our environmental performance and will shall keep you informed of our progress.
To become involved, please support our current initiatives:
