Accreditation
 |
We believe in being transparent about our progress or where we can do better, and avoid making empty claims. To this end, our sustainable practices are being verified by independent experts: Ethy. A sustainability accreditation specialist that partners with Feefo, Ethy helps customers find responsible, ethical businesses. They test sustainability claims on an evidence-based system built on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Each ‘ecolabel’ trust-mark represents an area where Ethy has reviewed evidence that specific sustainability criteria have been met for that particular theme. |
