Eurox is fully committed to playing its part in addressing the global climate crisis. Our pioneering carbon net-zero plan forms part of our broader sustainability program, aligning with global Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. Through ESG, we aim to not only reduce our carbon footprint but also ensure ethical labour practices, transparency, and community engagement. Sustainability considerations are prioritised throughout our procurement process to ensure our actions reflect our values. We strive to integrate sustainability principles into every aspect of our business, including our supply chain, and encourage all employees and customers to reduce, recycle, repack, re-use, and repurpose.

Sustainability is a key element of our strategy for the future growth of our business. Eurox is committed to the principles of sustainable development and aims to encourage our suppliers to adopt the values of sustainability which Eurox upholds. We are dedicated to using new technologies, sustainable resources, and improved environmental performance from product concept stage, manufacturing and packaging processes, storage, and finally delivery to our valued clients. 

At Eurox, we consider the use of recycled polyester in our products, with the majority of our poly-cotton garments made using recycled polyester. 

As part of our ISO 14001 accreditation and commitment to reducing environmental impact, we have set SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, reviewable, time-limited) objectives. One key goal is to reduce packaging waste by 2% each year. Since 2019, we have successfully cut our packaging waste from 50 tons to 42 tons by 2022. We achieve this through innovative methods, such as reusing cardboard and employing a high-tech iPack system in our distribution centers. This system optimizes packaging to match product sizes, reducing our packaging consumption by 20% while ensuring secure delivery. 

At Eurox, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment through comprehensive recycling initiatives. Our efforts encompass a wide range of practices designed to reduce waste, conserve resources, and support a sustainable future. By integrating  our business.

• Product Recycling: We partner with Newlife Charity to recycle unworn and reusable clothing for disabled children, giving these items a second life and helping those in need. Additionally, we collaborate with the National Fire & Rescue Service on international projects that require recycled or returned PPE, ensuring that valuable materials are reused effectively.
• Footwear Recycling: To manage footwear waste responsibly, we offer an incineration solution at a local plant site in the West Midlands. This approach not only disposes of waste correctly but also contributes to the creation of components for car interiors and fillings for other items.
• Internal Recycling: Within our operations, we promote sustainable practices by implementing double-sided printing to reduce paper use, providing waste bins for efficient waste disposal, and installing battery deposit bins in our warehouses to manage electronic waste responsibly.
• Uniform Reuse & Recycling Box Initiative:  We’ve introduced the Uniform Reuse & Recycling Box Initiative to help organisations manage uniform waste sustainably. Through this program, we provide recycling boxes for collecting old uniforms and materials

At Eurox, we are dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact and achieving Net Zero emissions. Our comprehensive approach to sustainability encompasses every aspect of  our operations, from manufacturing and energy efficiency to transportation and packaging reduction. By exploring new sustainable manufacturing processes, improving energy efficiency, transitioning to electric vehicles, and setting measurable targets for packaging reduction, we are taking significant steps towards a greener future.
