Our environmental commitment
To more effectively reduce our environmental impact we must examine every stage of our linen’s life cycle to see where we can do better.

To more effectively reduce our environmental impact we must examine every stage of our linen’s life cycle to see where we can do better.
We have recognised a need to embed ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) practices into the operation of our business. With this in mind, we want to better understand the environmental impact of our operations and supply chain (emissions, water and waste).
To better understand and measure our environmental impacts, we engaged EY to identify sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, water usage and waste generation within our operations and supply chain to establish a quantifiable environmental footprint.
As with all cradle to grave assessments, some assumptions have been made in assessing our own footprint. However, we are confident that the analysis provides an accurate snapshot of our current impact.
