With fuel prices on the rise and sustainability at front of mind for many consumers, we’ve gathered six of the most effective ways we can all conserve energy in the kitchen.
Our mission for being better
Better. By nature represents our ethos when it comes to sustainability. As a conscientious brand, we’re always striving for better – whether
that’s through regenerative product design or curating spaces that empower our customers to live more sustainably every day.
Through our ongoing mission, we aim to:
1. Promote sustainable lifestyle innovations
We’ll encourage and assist sustainable living by taking action to support sustainable efforts in our local communities, working with eco-conscious partners and providing more sustainable products and advice for our customers.
2. Drive circular materials and flows
We’ll drive innovation in our products with energy, water, food and cost savings in mind, and by promoting a circular economy - placing emphasis on using recycled materials and recycling waste, to divert materials from landfill wherever possible.
3. Transform our packaging
We’ll transform our packaging by removing harmful single-use plastic from our ranges and delivering new carbon footprint reduction initiatives throughout our whole value chain.
4. Reduce climate impact
We’ll reduce our climate impact through our continued commitment towards renewable energy sources, zero waste, cleaner transportation and our collection of quality kitchens that are built to last.
5. Promote a sustainable culture
We’ll promote a sustainable culture by responsibly sourcing to minimise risks, promoting a sustainable supply chain and forming strong relationships with our suppliers - which is crucial to develop and offer attractive products to our customers.
Through our ongoing mission, we aim to:

Since setting our targets, we’ve been working hard to improve our product offering through focusing on sustainable design, reducing the use of virgin plastics, and driving energy and water-saving solutions across our range of kitchen appliances.
We’re also prioritising products that are easier for customers to recycle, whether biodegradable, compostable or designed for extended lifecycle and disassembly. All as part of our transition towards a circular economy.

Operations
We’ve reduced the carbon footprint from our operations and owned transportation by 71% since 2016.
Through making the change to renewable energy throughout our showrooms and factories, and transitioning to electric vehicles within our internal fleet, we’re well on our way to hitting our emissions target by 2026.
of our UK mainland stores run on renewable energy
Since 2019, all of our UK mainland stores operate using green energy. Only our Isle of Wight and Guernsey stores are unable to do so, due to a lack of renewable energy providers on islands off the UK mainland.
We’ve reduced the carbon footprint of our factory by 76% since 2016.
By swapping to renewable energy, heating the factory via the incineration of waste timber and installing biomass boilers, we’ve been able to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our factory.
Of the timber waste from our supply chain is upcycled or repurposed.
We upcycle through various outlets such as, sawdust chippings which go off to be upcycled into animal bedding for the cattle industry. We upcycle supply offcuts of panels to a supplier who upcycles into blanket boxes or bed headboards. All our other wood waste is repurposed for various uses.
ISO Standards
We’re fully compliant with the ISO-recognised standards for energy management.
We manage all of our operations in accordance with the framework of The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001: Environmental Management Standard, 50001: Energy management systems, & the 45001 health and safety management standard complying fully with all relevant legislation applicable to these internationally recognized standards.
Operations
We’re building sustainable stores
As a company that prioritises sustainability throughout our product and our service offering, it was important to us to do the same with our new store formats.
Since starting our store refresh programme in 2021, we’ve taken the utmost care and attention to make sustainable choices and limit our carbon footprint wherever possible – all as part of our ongoing commitment to reducing our climate impact and promoting circular materials and flows.
Collaborations & community
The journey to sustainability and regeneration is a shared one. We’re working in collaboration with our customers, suppliers, and all other brand partners to establish new and improved processes and initiatives to help us all live and work more sustainably.
Rehome or recycle your pre-loved kitchen
In December 2022, we started a trial partnering with ground-breaking initiative, Used Kitchen Exchange (UKE).
Awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development in 2022, UKE are a Certified B Corp enterprise offering homeowners the opportunity to sell their pre-loved kitchen onto a new buyer, both diverting it from landfill and earning money from the sale in the process.
As part of this trial, we commit to a free-of-charge collection and recycling of your pre-loved kitchen should it not meet the Rehome acceptance criteria. And we will collect and recycle your packaging too.
We’re using Science-Based Targets
We’ll collaborate with our suppliers of sourced goods in reducing their carbon footprint from both production and usage. We commit to ensuring that at least 70% of our suppliers (based on emissions) will have Science-Based Targets by 2025.
What are Science-Based Targets?
“The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) provide a clearly-defined path to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Agreement goals, helping prevent the worst impacts of climate change and future-proof business growth.
Targets are considered ‘science-based’ if they are in line with what the latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement – limiting global warming to well-below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.”
