Environmental stewardship is a major differentiator that will define the longevity of our organisation. Our global operations team strives to continuously improve our environmental impact. Our environmental management priorities are informed by our values and the priorities of our stakeholders. Threats such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, climate change, and ocean plastic pollution are paramount concerns. Our level of influence over these issues varies at each point in our supply chain and across the product life cycle.
Working towards a reduction in plastic packaging and sourcing biodegradable / environmentally friendly alternatives. Initiatives include, but are not limited to:
- Paper Tape Machines are installed throughout the warehouse
- Cardboard Insulation alternative inside boxes as opposed to plastic

Going Green...
Where possible, we encourage every colleague to use our recycling bins as well as minimise the amount of paper we print on. Algeos has installed paperless invoicing through sending emails to customers. Additionally, we have decided to reduce the number of printed catalogues we issue by utilising online digital platforms, where all of our customers can easily access interactive PDF brochures from multiple devices.
