Our home: The Green House

The Green House is our head office, based in Ryde on the Isle of Wight. We designed this visionary building to include many environmentally-friendly innovations, including geo-thermal heating, which uses the natural heat from the ground to keep us warm (and cool) and a facility to harvest rain water, which is then filtered into our bathrooms to flush our toilets. Movement and sensory timers ensure our lighting automatically turns off when there is no-one in the room, recycled paper is used across the building, and all our kitchen waste is composted on site.

Packaging progress

We are in a continual process of improving our packaging to protect both our products and the world we live in. Our Packaging Team are always hard at work carefully considering our environmental impact and striving to reduce it. In recent years this has meant everything from offsetting our emissions with Carbon Balanced paper and cardboard, to introducing post-consumer recycled content into our plastic componentry.
