Looking to
the Future
What’s Next?
We believe that sustainable products built on values and business
success are not mutually exclusive. We’re always looking to the future
and considering how we can improve our business.
Thanks to the hard work of our brilliant team, our business has been
growing. In spring 2022, we opened our showroom on Ebury Street,
SW1, extending our operations beyond our Herefordshire headquarters.
While this is re昀氀ected in the 昀椀gures across the scopes, we’re more
committed than ever to lessening our environmental impact.
Although we’re eager to make our paints and operations as sustainable
as possible, we recognise that meaningful innovation and progress take
time. Here are some of the initiatives we’re currently working on.
We know we’re not
perfect but with
everything we know
about our industry,
competitors and
our paints, we fully
believe our paints
offer a far healthier
and less polluting
alternative to
water-based synthetic
household paints.
Our Focus Areas
P R O D U C T IN NOVATION
RESOURCE EFFI CIENCY
Reducing acrylic in our water-based eggshell
Reducing Waste & Water Use
G O AL - Ongoing
Other paint brands can include as much as 40%
plastic-based ingredients in their products; the amount
in our eggshell is only found in the Decovery binder
and makes up around 10% of the 昀椀nal product.
We’re ahead of the curve, but we know we can
do better. Our manufacturers’ team of dedicated
chemists continue to work on eliminating this very
small amount of acrylic.
GOAL - Immediate & Ongoing
Understanding and improving processes to reduce
waste and water use across all of our operations.

Expanding Solar & Renewable Power

We’re planning to extend our solar PV array. In taking
a phased approach, we hope to eventually power
our production barn and of昀椀ce all with the beautiful
Herefordshire sunshine and reliable wind.
DATA & TRANSPARE NCY
Improving accuracy
GOAL - Immediate & Ongoing
With the help of Circular Ecology and their
comprehensive recommendations, we continually
review the quality of our data for our carbon reporting.
We want our data to be as robust as possible so we can
get the most accurate picture of our impact.
Annual Impact Reporting
GOAL - Ongoing
We intend to create annual impact reports. Look out
for our future reports on our website and socials.

COMMUNITY IMPACT
