Sustainability
Beautifully crafted with care for our environment
At Sharps, everything we do is designed and delivered with the utmost care and attention.
This includes our promise to do our bit to look after our environment in every way we can. That’s from sourcing our materials all the way through to delivery to your home, we take conscious steps to support and care for our environment.
Our future targets
For our environmental strategy, we’re striving to make it as far-reaching as possible. From examining our own processes, to partnering with the right people or helping ecological projects further afield, we’re leaving no stone unturned.
Sharps is also proud to be partnered with Forest Carbon to assist in preserving the environment for future generations.
Read about the actions we’re taking to keep us on track to accomplish our carbon neutral commitments by 2030.
Responsibly sourced from forest to home
A lot of thought goes into the materials we use in our bespoke fitted furniture. Whilst ensuring it’s the best quality for the job, most importantly, all the wood for the main construction of our fitted furniture comes from recycled or sustainable sources:
40% reused from timber yard cut-offs (created during the machining process)
40% recycled from old furniture or pallets
20% is sustainably sourced from forests that comply with the FSC® (Forestry Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification). Ensuring all trees are replaced and no damage is created in the foresting activity.
Investing in our processes
moving our fleet forward
Our company car fleet is now almost 100% hybrid, with the aim of being fully electric by 2025.
Our HGV fleet vehicles operate Euro 6 engines which produce the smallest amount of CO2 commercially available.
Packaging everything with care
Every element of your order is packaged with care to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
Our cardboard packaging is 100% FSC® certified (Forest Stewardship Council FSC® C100100). This means that all our materials follow a chain of custody right back to a sustainably managed source.
Transforming how our factory and showrooms use energy
We use 100% renewable energy throughout our business, from showrooms to factory.
This means we create no emissions when using energy, impacting greatly on lowering our carbon emissions.
Cutting back on waste
99% of our manufacturing waste now avoids landfill through recycling. Our goal is 100% avoidance through removing non-recyclable waste from our processes.
We have also reduced our paper usage throughout the business by nearly 60% during 2023. By 2024, we want to reduce it by another 20%.
Working with people we trust
We only partner with companies who care about the environment just as much as we do. All of our suppliers are audited on their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) approach to make sure we’re working with people whose goals and values are aligned with ours.
Guaranteeing your furniture is built to last
We put the utmost care into every detail and the quality of every bedroom, home office or living space we create, ensuring it's built to last.
Unlike 'fast furniture' our products are designed to stand the test of time, reducing the need for replacement, and therefore minimising future environmental impact.
We confidently stand by this, offering every installation an industry-leading 15-year guarantee.
Giving you peace of mind to enjoy your beautifully organised furniture for years to come.
Carefully considered from cover to cover
The pages of our brochures are designed to inspire in every way.
That's why, as well as introducing a digital brochure option, all our physical brochures are printed on paper that is made of material from well-managed, FSC®-certified forests and other controlled sources.
Supporting the British Heart Foundation
We're proud to be working with the British Heart Foundation, offering a free collection of your old furniture.
While the furniture may not live with you anymore, there'll always be a good home for it to go to.
