Sustainability

Our sustainability work goes beyond choosing product materials

We take responsibility for social, environmental, and economic sustainability throughout our value chain, with human rights integrated into everything we do.

And we firmly believe in transparency too. So, if you’re interested in more details about Brandon’s sustainability, we recommend you read our most recent Sustainability Report.

An honest look at the impact of our business

As is typical for most companies, Scope 3 is the largest source of emissions for Brandon. The three biggest contributors are: Waste generated, transportation, and production.

However, we’re pleased to have good control over our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. And, by sticking to our fundamentals (below) we hope to reduce our Scope 3 emissions too.
