We aim to run our business with care for the people we work with and the resources we use. Our approach combines fair working practices, responsible sourcing and practical steps to reduce waste and energy use.
People and responsible sourcing
We are committed to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains, guided by the principles of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
- Supplier safeguards: we require suppliers to demonstrate safeguards against forced, bonded and child labour.
- Risk and oversight: our operational managers assess supplier risks and apply proportionate due diligence.
- Staff awareness: colleagues involved in procurement and supply-chain management receive training to help identify and prevent exploitation.
- Fair employment: employment is voluntary, with contracts setting out pay, hours and working conditions. Employees can leave with reasonable notice and without penalty.
- Respect at work: we do not tolerate violence, harassment or intimidation in our business or supplier relationships.
- Pay and working time: employees are paid at least the statutory minimum and receive clear information about pay and deductions. Overtime is voluntary, and we follow applicable working-time requirements.
Our senior leadership team is responsible for these commitments and for supporting appropriate training and oversight.
Packaging, reuse and recycling
- We reuse wine boxes where possible.
- Where new inner packaging is needed, we use compostable inserts made from recycled paper.
- We separate cardboard, paper, plastic and glass for recycling. Boxes that cannot be reused are shredded for protective packaging where suitable.
Energy and transport
Our premises use LED lighting with movement sensors to reduce unnecessary energy use. Solar panels help power our climate-controlled wine storage facility.
Our company cars are electric. Our delivery vans are diesel, and we maintain them with a focus on efficiency. We plan delivery routes to limit unnecessary mileage.
Our packaging responsibilities
We are a registered packaging producer, registration number NPWD361261. We work with Beyondly, formerly Comply Direct, on our packaging-producer responsibilities.
We collect information about the packaging we handle to support the reporting and recycling obligations that apply to our business.
Tree planting and travel
Tree planting forms part of our environmental work. We favour rail travel to wine producers where practical and avoid flights when we can.
Continuing to improve
This work is ongoing. We continue to look for practical ways to reduce waste, energy use and the impact of transport, working with our colleagues, suppliers and partners.
