National Climate Week and being a Sustainable Store

by Richard Murphy March 04, 2015 1 min read

It's National Climate Week and all over the UK individuals, corporations and businesses are evaluating how they can practice better sustainable trading and consumption.  Creating a sustainable, ethical business has always been one of our core values here at The Brotique. What truly makes us different is our ethos as we continually strive to make a more environmentally sustainable store. It’s an approach we apply to all our resources and products, sourcing locally wherever possible

We focus on using vintage and antique furniture in store both for brand development and to reduce our environmental impact, with an added bonus of being beautifully made and lasting longer too. From reclaimed chairs from the 1930s to work desks, there isn't anything in the store that doesn't have a particular use.

It's not all just in the trimmings though. We work with small retailers all over the world that we believe make the best quality goods but do so with a conscience.  A big part of how we work with our suppliers is something we like to call “raw  retail” working with them to reduce unnecessary packaging which helps us reduce waste. All packaging we do use uses recycled material and is fully recyclable, showing that quality long lasting products can also match up with your personal ethics. 

We love being as green as possible so coming together for practical implications for sustainability while retaining style is right up our alley. Are you making any changes as part of National Climate Week?
