Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy refers to our responsibility towards the environment. We believe that the success of a business is not only measured in terms of profit, but also on the positive impacts within their local community and the rest of the world.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) company policy outlines our efforts to give back to the world, to our valued customers and to our members of staff as they give to us.

These are some of the charities that we support regularly through fundraising.

Recycling and Commitment to the Environment

Woodland Trust

Woodland Trust is the largest woodland conservation charity in the UK, creating, protecting and restoring native woodland. The charity has planted over 30 million trees since its formation and maintains ownership of 1,000 publicly accessible woodlands.

To ensure that our flooring has as small an environmental impact as possible, we dispose of all of our flooring in a safe and environmentally friendly way. When choosing wooden flooring to supply and fit for our customers, we opt for brands with a dedication to sustainable flooring that matches our own.

The Children’s Scrapstore

One of the ways in which we recycle old flooring is through our support of the children’s Scrapstore, a fantastic charity based in our hometown of Bristol that collects safe waste such as textiles, carpeting, plastics and packaging for children to create things with.  You can find out more about the Children’s Scrapstore and how we support the charity here.
