As businesses face increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, addressing Scope 3 emissions has become a crucial challenge. Unlike Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which are linked to direct operations and energy consumption, Scope 3 emissions originate from the supply chain – including purchased goods, transportation, waste disposal, and business travel. These emissions often make up the largest portion of a company’s total carbon footprint, making their reduction essential for achieving meaningful sustainability goals.
At Fenn 1875, we understand the complexities of Scope 3 emissions and are committed to helping business reduce their Scope 3 emissions and develop a more sustainable supply chain. Our extensive range of eco-conscious workplace solutions – covering workwear, PPE, janitorial supplies, workplace supplies, business gifts, and print products – is designed to support businesses in their journey toward sustainability.
Eco-Friendly Product Choices
One of the most effective ways to cut Scope 3 emissions is by making sustainable procurement decisions. We enable your business to make responsible purchasing choices without compromising on quality or functionality by offering a selection of eco-friendly alternatives to traditional workplace supplies, including:
- Recyclable and biodegradable options across all categories.
- Ethically sourced workwear made from organic and recycled materials.
- Low impact PPE solutions, including reusable or recyclable options where possible.
By switching to greener products, businesses can significantly reduce waste and lower their carbon footprint, aiding towards sustainability targets with ease.
Reducing Carbon Footprint in Procurement
Our commitment to local sourcing and working with environmentally responsible manufacturers ensures a lower carbon footprint throughout the supply chain. By choosing our products, businesses can benefit from:
- Sourcing locally where possible to shorten transportation distances and cut down on emissions.
- Delivery impact reports to help customers measure and understand the carbon emissions associated with their orders.
- Partnering with manufacturers that hold sustainability certificates such as ISO 14001, B Corp certification, and more.
- Sustainable packaging solutions such as recyclable, biodegradable, plastic-free alternatives to reduce waste and single-use materials.
By choosing Fenn 1875, businesses benefit from a supply chain that is designed to minimise carbon emissions while maintaining efficiency and reliability.
Circular Economy & Waste Reduction Initiatives
We don’t just supply products to you; we provide waste reduction solutions to help businesses embrace a circular economy, such as:
- Recycling and take-back programmes for workwear, PPE, and office supplies.
- Durable and reusable alternatives to single-use products.
- Guidance on responsible disposal to ensure materials are recycled or repurposed efficiently.
These initiatives help businesses significantly reduce landfill waste, cut emissions, and create a more resource-efficient workplace.
Transparency and Supplier Sustainability Commitments
Sustainability isn’t just about choosing the right products – it’s about working with responsible suppliers. At Fenn 1875, we carefully choose our supply chain partners to ensure they align with our commitment to ethical and sustainable business practices.
What we expect from suppliers:

By working with suppliers that share our values, we create a more transparent, accountable, and sustainable supply chain for our customers.

- Data on emissions savings achieved through sustainable product choices and optimised deliveries.
- Sustainability audits to identify opportunities for improvement in procurement and waste management.
