Sustainability & responsible Practice

Our Pillars of Sustainability

Transparent & Evidence-led Product Innovation

While our Pure.V sustainable cleaning range is a flagship example of eco-innovation, we hold all our products to rigorous standards.

• We are increasingly selective about the products we carry – prioritising those with credible specifications, safety data, and reliable supplier information.
• We publish clear, easy-to-understand technical data sheets, safety protocols, and sustainable credentials transparently.
• We avoid vague or misleading claims. Where “green” credentials are claimed, we back them with data and scientific evidence.
• We partner with sector experts and scientific specialists to ensure every sustainable product is developed with evidence, precision, and purpose — rigorously tested in real-life care settings to deliver proven performance and genuine environmental benefit.
• We commit to ongoing development of sustainable innovations that address real care home needs.

Ethical Supplier Relationships & Local Considerations

• As a UK-based supplier, we aim to select partners whose practices align with environmental stewardship, labour standards, and transparency.
• Where feasible, we support UK-based or regional suppliers to reduce transportation emissions and strengthen local supply resilience.
• We advocate for continuous improvement across the supply chain – working with vendors on greener packaging, circular materials, and end-of-life product plans.

Operational Efficiency & Waste Awareness

• We aim to reduce waste (packaging, excess inventory) and manage disposal responsibly.
• We strive for logistics efficiency – consolidating deliveries and optimising transport routes to reduce environmental footprint.
• Returned equipment is handled responsibly: repaired, refurbished, or recycled where possible.
• We adopt a “fix, not replace” approach to extend the life of equipment, reduce waste, and save our customers money.

Collaboration, Advice & Transparency with Clients

• We view care homes as partners, offering consultation and guidance so they can make informed, responsible decisions.
• We commit to open communication and back up our claims with evidence.
• We offer training, audits, and ongoing reviews to help care homes understand true sustainability, avoid greenwashing, and adopt better practices.
• As care homes develop their own ESG strategies, we collaborate to align our supply options and processes with their goals.

Compliance, Safety & Integrity

• Every product we supply complies with UK regulations governing health, safety, chemical use, and sector standards.
• We provide COSHH guidelines with all cleaning products, including eco ranges, and offer training to ensure safe and correct use.
