We Tread Lightly on the Planet

Since we founded Flower & White back in 2009, we’ve always pushed ourselves to do business in the right way. It’s not always been easy, but often the best things aren’t and we’re proud of how far we’ve come already. Last year, we officially started on our Bcorp journey, to do business in a way that balances people and the planet with profit. Working towards Bcorp certification is our chance to step up and show everyone that we mean business when it comes to treading lighter on the planet and being a force for good. Committing to Bcorp status means that the environment is at the heart of everything we do.

One of the first important steps we took to tread lightly on the planet was the introduction of our plastic free paper bars and bites packaging. While it would have been easy to choose a cheaper, glossier plastic packaging, we knew the impact this would have had and we wanted to empower our customers with the ability to recycle their wrapper. As well as the larger, impactful decisions such as packaging, for us, we believe that no change is too small and we have already made many smaller changes along the way. From introducing LED movement sensor lights to changing our energy supply to renewable energy. It is also important for us to get our entire team behind our commitment too, so we’ve made it easier for everyone to tread lightly on the planet with bike to work schemes, battery recycling boxes and encouraging everyone to take part in reviewing and reducing their carbon footprint.

It’s not always easy, but we’ve always been clear that we want to do our best for our customers, our team and the planet. We want our business to be fun, to never take ourselves too seriously; to always do business the right way; and to make irresistible treats that make people happy. We wouldn’t have it any other way!
