<strong>Bradstone</strong><br />
The responsible supplier<br />
<strong>Bradstone</strong> has been focusing its efforts on developing<br />
sustainable solutions for well over a decade.<br />
The responsible source<br />
In straightforward terms, responsible sourcing is all about measuring and<br />
managing the specific environmental, social and economic impacts of any<br />
product, taking into account all elements including its manufacture, delivery,<br />
use, reuse and recyclability.<br />
The good news is that <strong>Aggregate</strong> <strong>Industries</strong> is the first company in the world<br />
to achieve BES 6001 Responsible sourcing certificate from BRE global.<br />
As such, you can have absolute confidence that <strong>Bradstone</strong> products have been<br />
responsibly sourced and that you’re getting the garden landscaping industry’s<br />
most sustainable and future proof solutions.<br />
Ethical trading policy<br />
When you see the ethical trading logo, it’s your assurance that <strong>Bradstone</strong> is<br />
working harder than ever to ensure our imported natural stone products meet<br />
strict ethical criteria.<br />
<strong>Bradstone</strong> works with our global suppliers to support the principles of the UN<br />
Global compact and ETI base code.<br />
Examples of the criteria <strong>Bradstone</strong> insists our suppliers have to meet are:<br />
• Provision of a safe and healthy workplace<br />
• Prohibition of child labour<br />
• Paying wages which meet or exceed national legal standards<br />
• Provision of employment rights<br />
• Prohibition of bonded or forced labour<br />
Carbon labelling<br />
In simple terms, a carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon dioxide and<br />
other greenhouse gases created during the life of a product from production<br />
to use and disposal.<br />
Working with one of the industry’s most respected governing bodies, the<br />
Building Research Establishment (BRE), we have developed a system that<br />
calculates the carbon footprint for any <strong>Bradstone</strong> landscaping product.<br />
To find out the carbon footprint of each product, please visit<br />

<strong>Bradstone</strong> Surface Protection<br />
Wherever you see this logo, it means that the product has been pre-coated<br />
with <strong>Bradstone</strong> Surface Protection. This makes everyday contaminants such<br />
as oil, grease, moss, bird droppings, wine and soft drinks much easier to clean<br />
from patios and driveways. The protection will last from 4-6 years.<br />
