Q: How does The Fragrance Counter impact the environment?
A: With each passing day we are reminded how important and fragile our environment is. We like to think we do our utmost to act responsibly each day. We re-use packaging a lot! So boxes and packaging material used to deliver goods to us are re-used to deliver goods to you as much as possible. All cardboard that we are unable to re-use is recycled. When we have to package goods for safe transport we use it as sparingly as possible but enough to ensure a safe delivery. Our bubble wrap, when used, is made from recycled plastic. All of our staff are locally based, they all literally walk or cycle to work! The government cycle to work scheme is available to all staff. Office work is often carried out at home when possible. Our building is compact, so we are only heating a space that is used, not a huge empty warehouse. We are currently investigating the use of solar power for our building. Our property is double glazed. We will continue to ensure care for the environment is always considered when we make business decisions.
