With regards to Sustainability, The Name Label Company are so lucky to be in an energy-efficient and beautiful office (The Milking Parlour) on the Overbury Estate. Having achieved the ISO14001 standard, we knew we weren’t finished there where the environment was concerned. We wanted to take the next step... we were very fortunate to attend a workshop run by Eoin McQuone from Sustainable Business Design – Click Here to find out more on our certificate page.
We were inspired by the workshop and wanted to see if we could become a ‘Carbon Neutral’ business. Eoin came in with an enormous amount of knowledge and enthusiasm that helped us calculate our exact Carbon Footprint. This was a comprehensive interrogation of our whole business which included the forensic examination of the emissions in our operations, our supply chain and our customer activity (Scope1, Scope 2 and Scope 3). We were able to calculate the exact figure and then identify projects that we could invest in to offset our emissions.

Today we are facing many challenges and none more critical than the environment and all the issues that surround that. Having an effective Environmental Management System (EMS) helps us to streamline our environmental processes, focussing us on reducing waste and the Carbon footprint of our business. We feel by having the internationally recognised Environmental standard ISO14001 – it demonstrates our passion and commitment to our planet and no matter how small, we are trying to do our ‘bit’ to help.
‘Go Climate Positive’ is a membership programme that makes it easy for businesses to calculate, reduce and offset their carbon emissions. It is designed to adhere to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and Corporate Value Chain Standard.
“Show you mean business on the climate emergency” Go Climate Positive
We have said goodbye to plastic and hello to recycled packaging. As a Carbon Neutral company and also having achieved the ISO14001 accreditation, we are always looking at ways to reduce our environmental impact. Being an ethical and sustainable business is so important to us.
We have a number of targets in place to further improve our performance including, further reducing waste and becoming Carbon Positive in the next two years.
