Working on our Better World Pledge

We’re 30 years this year and have been on a journey, we’ve supported pets, people and the planet first (see attachment in email)

Helping our customers be sustainable with a long term strategy – 20/25/30/40 year targets – aiming for Net Zero by 2040

We work with the latest science around climate change and strive to be the best we can

They look at products and suppliers, and are very collaborative across the industry, complex challenges

They are a Woodland Trust partner, last year they donated 66,000 trees (one tree for every pet ethunised) the equivalent of 5,000 tonnes of carbon. On 12th May they will dedicated a newly planted tree for every colleague (some types of tree have to be planted early in the year, some later)

They recycle as much as they can, including pet bedding

They are working with KickStart through the Princes Trust – conscious if the broad societal impact they have they support people who face barriers to employment.

They pay above the living wage and after training pay the ‘real living wage’

This ethos wraps around the business, it’s engrained in everything they do

Local stores nominate a local cause to raise money for – they are the biggest givers of donations to rescues
