Using natural materials to change the world.
Company goals.
Our impact, our responsibility is our mantra. We know we aren’t yet perfect, however we can always strive to be better and improve our impact on the wider world both socially and environmentally.
We recognise that our actions alone won’t change our climate course, however we do believe in the power of the collective. If everyone does something small, the impact is massive.
We have always tried to shape our decisions based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, achieving the Queens Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development in 2022. Read more about our contribution so far and ongoing commitment to improve our impact in relation to the SDGs
We are currently reviewing our goals for 2023 and beyond, so keep an eye here as we update our progress, our current aims are:
- Zero Waste to Landfill – we already achieved this in 2021, however we know it is important to strive to maintain this as we grow. For example, we have recently implemented a closed loop on the waste plastic from our production, with us redirecting this back to our suppliers to recycle into more components for us.
- Move to a 100% renewable energy in our Woolhouse – we achieved this in 2021, and eliminated the use of gas in our facility.
- Net Zero by 2025 (Scope 1 and 2), reducing Scope 3 by 2.5% year on year. – We have always shied away from declaring this in the past as we do not believe in making a statement or commitment without knowing our current position. We completed our Carbon Footprint analysis for 2021/2022 with Keele University and now feel we are in an educated position to plan how to achieve this goal. We know we can be better and will continue to drive to be so.
- Improve our engagement with Charities – continue our support of our chosen charity partners, with donations, engagement in time and supporting events. We also pledge to work to commit to donating 75 hrs of our team engagement by 2025.
We have future ambitions to set up our own foundation too, so watch this space!

Get sheep done!
We’re proud to be the first packaging company of our kind to achieve B Corp certification in the UK. We believe in business as a force for good and that if every business makes a small step, together we can have a major impact.
It was a rigorous and detailed process which, if anything, showed us how we can do more to live up to the B Corp commitment. By shining a light on how we work, it confirmed what we already knew – we’re far from perfect!
Materials we use.
We believe in the right material, right application, full researched from beginning to end of life, no knee jerk reaction or jumping on a marketing bandwagon.
Packaging has a really important role to plays. It protects, informs, extends shelf live and reduces product wastage. We must make sure we are mindful about it’s impact, ensuring that when it is used, it is used responsibly and optimised.
Wool.
100% Pure Wool is a super-smart natural insulator that is compostable and biodegradable. However, you can be super-smart and reuse around the house, in the garden or even send back to us at Woolcool. #letsboxclever
Paper.
We are working towards smarter alternatives and as part of the drive to reduce plastic in packaging our pouch is made from recyclable and biodegradable paper. Simply dispose as part of your household recycling.
Plastic.
Our 100% Pure Wool liner is protected by a recyclable plastic outer. This increases reusability and ensures we are adhering to Food and Pharma safety standards. You can simply dispose of this in your household recycling.
Sustainable Development Goals.
In 2015, leaders of the World’s UN came together to create a blueprint which every business in every country can work towards, that secures the rights and well-being of all people, and the planet.
They created 17 Sustainable Development Goals (or SDGs) which offer a practical pathway towards protecting the planet, tacking inequality, and ending poverty. These include:
1. No Poverty
2. Zero Hunger
3. Good Health & Well-being
4. Quality Education
5. Gender Equality
6. Clean Water and Sanitation
7. Affordable and Clean Energy
8. Decent Work and Economic Growth
9. Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
10. Reduced Inequalities
11. Sustainable Cities and Communities
12. Responsible Consumption and Production
13. Climate Action
14. Life Below Water
15. Life on Land
16. Peace Justice and Strong Institutions
17. Partnerships for the Goals
Each year, a report is produced by the UN outlining the implementation of efforts towards these goals to date, including statistics, and highlights of progress or where more action is required. Political leaders from each nation also meet regularly to review and accelerate efforts towards reaching these goals.
Some of these goals naturally lend themselves to our activity right now compared to others, such as those focusing on industry, innovation, infrastructure, consumption, and sustainability. As part of our company culture and ethos, we also align with equality, well-being, education, and community goals through purposeful practises and fostering an inclusive work environment. We wrote about exactly how we meet many of these goals over in our blog section.
We design and manufacture sustainable & environmently responsible packaging for businesses both in the UK and worldwide.
