As part of a family company committed to creating a better world, we want to help you achieve your sustainability goals. Our innovative products and programmes are designed to support you to create safe and healthy environments for the people you care for, but in a sustainable way to “Use less. Waste Less. Recycle More.”
Sustainability is a major challenge for businesses
Many businesses have policies and strategies for being more sustainable. The challenge is making efforts that enable real progress to be made.
All efforts to be more sustainable are good efforts, no matter how big or small. However, doing everyday things better are easy to action and can accumulate to have a significant impact towards supporting sustainability goals. What’s important is combining the collective impact of these efforts, with a continuous culture of striving to achieve more, to drive real positive change.
Use less
Turning off lights, heating and air conditioning, buying more efficient cleaning materials, using hand soaps that require less water during handwashing and sourcing renewable energy; these can all make a positive impact on your everyday energy consumption.
Waste less
Going paperless, encouraging employees to use reusable bottles and packaging, buying cleaning products that waste less chemicals, water and packaging during use are just some of the many ways you can reduce waste sent to landfill.
Recycle more
Providing packaging materials that can be readily recycled after use, and the use of recycled materials in packaging to help create circularity. The installing of designated recycling areas with clearly labelled bins, will help promote sustainable workplace habits.
Better business. Better world.

Sustainability is part of our DNA
By partnering with us you can harness our strategic approach to help achieve your sustainability goals.
Grounded in science
Our comprehensive strategy for sustainability is grounded in science which means everything we do is backed by evidence and data, so you can trust what our products and programmes will do for your organisation. Our strategy is particularly focused on reducing the use of plastics and the application of science-based chemistry to continually improve our products by choosing ingredients that better protect human health and the environment.
Plastic:
Most of our product packaging and dispensers are made from a variety of plastic materials. Across our portfolio, we’re committed to reducing plastic content in our products, using plastic that can be recycled, and increasing our use of recycled plastic.
Chemistry:
We provide high-quality formulas that are effective and live up to our rigorous standards for health and environmental impact. We offer product alternatives across our portfolio, particularly foam products, enabling you to use less and waste less.
