Solar panels which can harvest 35,000kW energy per year
20,000 British Black Bees to expand the local population
LED lighting to reduce energy consumption
Using local suppliers and ethical products
♻️ Cutting down on plastic packaging

The team have displayed an excellent understanding of sustainability as well as an awareness of the opportunities and challenges associated with running a responsible business. The Box have scored well across all 15 sustainability indicators and have performed particularly strongly in the Awareness, Energy, Equality, Health & Wellbeing, and Waste goals during this assessment.
