JP, Trellick Tower beneficiary
As a triple bottom line business, we measure our success in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Purpose is at our core. We believe all businesses have a responsibility to support their local community and have a positive environmental impact. We identified real problems — material waste, unemployment, social isolation to name a few — and continually use every tool at our disposal to solve them.
We work with locally-sourced, sustainable hardwoods that tread lightly on the planet, including timber grown in responsibly-managed forests, repurposed from material donations, or reclaimed from felled trees.
Through our Future Makers initiative, we provide meaningful career guidance, training and work placements for local young people in our community not in education, employment or training as well as for young offenders and at-risk youth.
Through our Academy we provide training in sustainable craft to our community free of charge, promoting wellbeing and social connection through the joy of making.
Nadia, Soulcraft Learner
We protect the climate by using planet-positive materials with the lowest possible carbon footprint, and combat food waste through our monthly People’s Kitchen, which uses surplus food.
We are the official UK delivery partner of Manufacto, run by the Fondation d’Entreprise Hermès, which teaches sustainable design principles and woodworking skills to school children.
We’ve been feeding our community since 2015 with our People’s Kitchen initiative, a free monthly meal for vulnerable local residents cooked from surplus food and delivered by volunteers. So far we have shared over 11,000 meals, tackling food shortages in one of the most deprived wards in London.
