A Sustainable Supplier

Avanti is working towards Net Zero

At Avanti we aren’t only helping our customers to create cleaner, safer and more sustainable spaces. We are trying to do exactly the same thing in our own business.

Sustainability is more than cleaning, of course. Avanti is excited to also be on a journey towards Net Zero. We are proud to be a Planet Mark Certified - Business. This marks a new chapter in our efforts to embed sustainability into all aspects of the company.

We aim to help every customer on the same journey by providing them new choices and insights into what is possible - whether that is saving paper, reducing transport, or embracing new products made from sustainable or recycled sources.

We're properly on the path to sustainability!

Avanti is Planet Mark Certified! For the past year, Avanti's environmental impact has been evaluated. It involved assessing our carbon emissions, energy consumption, waste management practices, and overall sustainability initiatives.

Becoming a Planet Mark Certified - Business means that we now have a globally recognised sustainability certification that requires rigorous standards and accountability.

Now, we have a process for reporting our carbon footprint and engaging our team and clients on this important mission. With insight into our carbon footprint, we will be able to establish Net Zero targets and work on achieving that. As part of our Certification we are committed to reducing our Scope 1 and 2 emissions (which include our delivery fleet and our electricity emissions) by 5% each year, as well as some of our Scope 3 emissions.

Why does Carbon Reduction matter so much?

Reducing carbon emissions is crucial for all businesses. As a business that ships products every day to customers both close to home in Bristol and around the country, we are very conscious of our carbon footprint.

Carbon reduction isn’t just good for the planet, helping towards global efforts to limit temperature rises. It can also create savings too.

Planet Mark defines three areas for attention when it comes to carbon footprint reduction:

Direct emissions from within our company itself – such as how we heat our offices or fuel our delivery vans
Indirect emissions which come from our decisions – such as choosing who we buy things like energy from very carefully
Indirect emissions within the value chain – and this is where our suppliers come in. We are actively selecting suppliers who are themselves working towards Net Zero, committing to the use of recycled rather than materials such as virgin plastics or wood fibres, and creating products that can easily be recycled or disposed of safely.

We love what we do and are passionate about our fantastic customers’ businesses. We not only specialise in hygiene but catering supplies, first aid, clothing, safety footwear and PPE.
