Our Sustainability Story
From being founding partners of the Trees4Trees reforestation initiative to developing a range of sustainable furniture and recyclable products, we pride ourselves on being pioneers in our industry when it comes to eco-conscious practices.
WE'RE PROUD TO BE A
Carbon Neutral Plus certified company
This is the result of a decade of investment into new technologies and processes, covering every aspect of our business. We remain committed to further minimising our environmental impact and continue to strive to reduce our carbon footprint across all facets of our operations.
WE PLANT
A tree for every delivery
Since 2021, we’ve pledge to plant a tree for every delivery made by Barker and Stonehouse through our reforestation partners, Trees4Trees. This helps to offset CO2 emissions from our deliveries, support sustainable timber forestry and ensure that we continue to protect our planet.
WE BUILD
Sustainable stores
For the last 10 years we've ensured our stores are built with as many sustainable features as possible.
We’ve invested in intelligent low-energy heating and lighting systems for all our stores and use renewable energy from solar panels where we can. Where possible, we’ve planted living walls on our stores, creating a wildlife habitat and increasing biodiversity.
WE’RE INVESTING IN
Eco-friendly deliveries
To help us continue on our carbon reduction journey, we’ve invested in electric and hybrid delivery vehicles as well as Maximover vans, which are much lighter and twice as fuel efficient than our old fleet.
We’ve introduced a state-of-the-art logistics system to ensure deliveries run as efficiently as possible, thereby reducing our emissions.
Highly energy efficient, hydrogen vehicles emit zero emissions and will help us on our sustainability journey.
FSC Certified Wood
Most of our wooden furniture is FSC™ certified, ensuring it is produced in a socially, economically, and environmentally responsible manner. All FSC™-certified products come from sustainable forests that adhere to responsible forestry practices.
