At Naturally You we care about the environment and we make every effort to ensure that the products you buy and the service that we provide are of the highest quality without compromising our daily aim to reduce the negative impact we may have on the environment.
We take this approach to daily business not only because it's good for our customers but because we believe it to be an essential business practice and approach to take in today’s world. We believe that continued economic growth and environmental protection go hand in hand in providing a good quality of life.
Not only do our our products contain natural ingredients from sustainable sources but we choose to develop business relationships with manufacturers and suppliers who also produce sustainable products, choose environmentally friendly materials and design products that can be recycled after use. Being able to partner with manufacturers who are committed to continuous improvement to their products, process and working environments enables us to confidently adhere to our own practice policy.
Our premises are lit throughout by energy efficient light bulbs and all lights and electronic equipment, when not needed, are switched off as are the computers at the end of each day. The computers themselves are made from reclaimed parts and unwanted office furniture is donated to charity so that it may be reused.
Wherever possible we email information to clients and avoid unnecessary printing of documents. Ink cartridges are refilled and toner cartridges are recycled as is all general documentation. We use recycled paper for our office stationary and recycled packaging supplies for all wholesale orders, right down to the polystyrene chips.
And while the office plants are pleasing to look at, we added them to our work space because they exchange the carbon dioxide we breathe out for oxygen. There is also evidence to suggest that plants can filter volatile organic compounds such as benzene and formaldehyde from the atmosphere, making the air that we breathe naturally purer.
We even strive to be environmentally responsible during lunchtimes with leftover food being disposed of in a composter at the back of our premises and the kettle only filled with just enough water for hot drinks rather than being filled to the top. Soft drink cans and water bottles, whether plastic or glass, are also sent for recycling. Our coffee is fairtrade and the milk that we use is from a local shop as we try to walk rather than drive whenever possible.
At Naturally You, we believe that environmentally responsible management is a necessary and integral part of a sustainable future and we are committed to monitoring and maintaining green programs and policies as well as constantly looking for further ways to improve.
