Product Sustainability Policy

Brightwayz Product Sustainability Statement  (Including Brand My Thingy Range)

At Brightwayz social enterprise we are committed to making a positive impact on the planet and promoting sustainable practices within the promotional products industry which is where our main income-generating activities lie. We recognize the urgent need to address environmental challenges and strive to be at the forefront of sustainability efforts. Our company is driven by a passion for promoting active travel, including walking, cycling, and the use of public transport, as we believe these choices contribute to a greener and healthier future for all and 100% of our sales income is ploughed back to support this mission.

Environmental Responsibility: We understand that our operations have an environmental footprint, and we are dedicated to minimising it. We actively seek out eco-friendly materials and production methods for our promotional products, ensuring that they are made from sustainable sources and are easily recyclable or biodegradable. By prioritising the use of environmentally responsible materials, we aim to reduce waste and limit our impact on ecosystems.

Product Selection: We take great care in curating a product portfolio that aligns with our sustainability values. Our Brightwayz specialist range is for items that promote sustainable and active travel, such as reflectors and cycling accessories. Our Brand My Thingy range of general promotional products prioritises eco-friendly products such as reusable water bottles, recycled cotton tote bags and aluminium pens.  By offering these products, we encourage our customers to embrace sustainable lifestyle choices and reduce their reliance on single-use items.

Supplier Partnerships: We are committed to collaborating with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability. We carefully select partners who prioritise ethical sourcing, fair labour practices, and environmentally responsible manufacturing processes. We look for supplier production to be as local as possible to reduce transport impacts. Together with our suppliers, we work towards reducing carbon emissions, minimising waste, and conserving resources throughout the supply chain.

Education and Awareness: We believe that education and awareness are key to driving positive change. We actively engage with our employees, customers, and the wider community to promote the benefits of active travel and sustainable practices. Through informative campaigns, workshops, and social media initiatives, we strive to inspire individuals and organisations to make conscious choices that contribute to a greener future.

Continuous Improvement: We understand that sustainability is an ongoing journey. We are committed to continuously evaluating and improving our practices to ensure we stay aligned with the latest advancements in sustainability. We regularly assess our processes, set measurable goals, and embrace innovation to find new ways to reduce our environmental impact and promote sustainable solutions.
