- Timers – They utilise timers on certain factory devices such as heating jackets so that raw materials such as oils that need to be heated for production are automatically turned on at the most efficient time and are not left running 24/7.
- Optimised processes - They regularly review processes to ensure that usage is minimised in the factory and warehouse. Understanding where water is used can naturally lead to an understanding of how they can minimise the use or clean water and create less ‘Blackwater’ where possible.
- Leak detection and repair – Regular inspection of plumbing and equipment help to ensure water is not unnecessarily wasted.
- Recycling and waste disposal – They reuse any material waste created by production wherever possible. One such example is re-using cardboard boxes that raw materials arrive in to send out trade orders, alternatively, when cardboard boxes are unfit for re-use, they shred them and use the shredding as a recyclable packing material for their trade and retail orders. This reduces energy consumption linked to waste disposal and delivery of bought in packing materials.

- Supplier Approval Process – They undertake an annual supplier approval review. This helps them utilise suppliers who are not only economical but also who are closer to them and are like-minded with their environmental practices. This further ensures they limit their energy consumption.
