Our Approach
Bunzl Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies has been
focusing on sustainability for over 10 years.
Our journey as a sustainable supplier first began
in 2005, and was validated with the achievement
of ISO 14001 in January 2006.
From this, Bunzl CHS looked at waste, water,
electricity, carbon footprint, product sourcing
and finally, became a member of the FM Supply
Chain Sustainability School in 2015.

Developing
Our People
Our people have and always will be the key piece of Bunzl
Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies with our aim to nurture talent and
help them flourish. We have a raft of training programmes which
include our innovative online training platform YELP where staff
can learn at anytime, anywhere.
Our YELP platform provides
access to thousands of courses,
which gives our people the ability
to develop both personally and
professionally, whether they are
looking to improve their
numerical skills or want
to communicate better.
Additionally our Wellbeing
Policy promotes mental and
physical health initiatives to
ensure our staff always
feel supported.
This can be in the form of access
to counselling or through fun,
collective activities such as our
Healthy Eating Days.
To those outside of our
organisation, we also offer
an Apprenticeship scheme,
helping young people learn a
new trade in a supportive and
cultivating atmosphere.

Supporting our
Communities
Our endeavours also stretch to the wider
world where we give back to society. Our
recent ventures include charity events
throughout the year, fundraising for
worthy causes such as Mind, MacMillan
Cancer Support and Rainbow Trust
Childrens Charity.
We also support products from manufacturer
Clarity, whose soaps and toiletries are
produced by a workforce that’s predominantly
blind or disabled.
Our Focus on Sustainability I 5

Sustainable Products
Through Innovation
We believe that true innovation is the key
to becoming an ever-more sustainable
supplier. Through our Innov8 programme,
we continually search for products that
both solve problems and move our industry
forward from a sustainability point of view.
For instance, we stock a number of chemical
free products within our range from suppliers
such as InnuScience, EcoLab and the Diversey
Sure range which use plant based enzymes.
Our paper products are stocked in compressed
packaging meaning that 20% extra product
is contained within each box. We stock the
sustainable, renewable and biodegradable
Cheeky Panda paper made from FSC ®
100% Bamboo.
ENVIRONMENTAL
CREDENTIALS
Nordic Swan,

www.bunzlchs.com

We’ve discovered dispensers such as the
Rubbermaid Lumecel Autofoam which need no
power supply as it converts indoor light using
its in-built solar panels to dispense hand wash.
In June 2017 we began selling Wecovi’s Full
Cycle Floor Pad, the world’s first floor pad with
enhanced biodegradation, beginning to decay
once in a landfill.
In addition, more products than ever in our
range hold environmental credentials such as
Nordic Swan, EU Ecolabel and FSC ® .

Sustainability
School
In 2015 Bunzl CHS became a
member of the FM Supply Chain
Sustainability School.
We have now proudly attained
Gold member status.
Joining the school has enabled us to
fine tune our environmental offering
and share best practice with other
School members.

ISO 14001
AWARDED
ISO 9001 &
OHSAS 18001
Bunzl CHS has held ISO 14001
Environmental Management System since
2006 which is approved by NQA, a UKAS
accredited company.
We actively train our staff to understand
their impact on the environment and
implement positive changes.
We encourage employees to review
their work activities and identify
small changes that can result
in a meaningful reduction
in our overall
environmental impact.
We are constantly
striving to improve
year on year and have
recently been awarded
ISO 9001 and
OHSAS 18001.

Recycling Waste
At Bunzl CHS, we have been constantly
reviewing the impact of our waste sent
to landfill.
In 2006 we invested in bailers at our branches,
to compact the cardboard and plastic waste
which is now diverted to be recycled.
We then focused on our paper usage which
included a reduction in paper consumption
through print, reusing where possible and
recycling.
We are currently working with major UK paper
towel manufacturers to recycle our customers’
waste paper back into the supply chain.
The recycled paper is reprocessed and recycled
into hand towel products that we sell back to our
customers.

Saving Water
Whilst our water usage is only used for
refreshment and sanitary use, Bunzl CHS
is always looking for ways to use water
more effectively.
All new and refurbished facilities are fitted
with dual flush toilets and older sites are
fitted with Cistermiser and Hippo Bricks.
Vehicle washing at our sites is prohibited
and from 2016, we have monitored our water
consumption on a monthly basis, enabling
us to analyse our usage between sites and
spot any leaks.

MONITORING
Since 2016, we have measured
and analysed water consumption
across all of our branches

Renewable
Electricity
Since 2012 Bunzl CHS has sourced
electricity from 100% renewable tariffs.
Currently over 85% of the electricity
used by Bunzl CHS is from 100%
renewable tariffs.

Carbon Footprint
From January 2013, Bunzl CHS became the
first cleaning and hygiene product supplier
to publish their monthly CO 2 footprint per
delivery figures.
Using the conversion data set out by Defra, we
have been able to accurately calculate our Scope
1 and Scope 2 figures ensuring that Scope 3
data can be calculated for our customers.
• Jan 13 = 6.19 kg of CO 2 per delivery
• Jan 17 = 4.59 kg of CO 2 per delivery
(Reduction of 25.8%)

New Technology
In December 2011 Bunzl CHS fitted
all commercial vehicles with an on
board telematics system.
From 2011, BCHS has produced a reduction in
road traffic accidents, wear & tear and a 20.6%
reduction of fuel per £1M turnover since 2011.
In 2016, we introduced a route planning and
fleet management system called Telogis which
further reduced our diesel consumption whilst
enhancing our customer delivery expectations.

Target Setting
Bunzl CHS has set annual targets for
the past 9 years to reduce its impact
on the environment.
For 2017/2018, we are targeting a 1% net
reduction on diesel and energy consumption.
Therefore, if our business expanded by 5%, we
would be looking at a 4% increase in diesel and
energy (1% target reduction and 5% growth).
These targets are agreed at Board level
and performance against these targets are
constantly reviewed by senior management.
We are also monitored by Bunzl plc to ensure
our group obligations are met.

The Future
Bunzl CHS is not stopping.
As mentioned earlier, we are continually
looking at innovative ways to reduce our
impact on the environment.
Currently we are working on two key
environmental projects:
Lighting – We are currently switching a
significant amount of our lighting from high
wattage lights to low wattage LED lights. This
could see a reduction in our consumption of
electricity for lighting by over 60%.
Waste – We are committed to reducing
our waste to landfill and feel that we can
do more in this area.
We not only review what we do in terms
of waste and recycling at each of our
business locations, but also actively
challenge our supply chain to reduce
their packaging and waste.
