Sustainability
Our commitment
At Trust, we want to make fair digital accessories the new norm. Fair for people. Fair for the planet. Fair prices. That’s why we’re speeding up our sustainability efforts. We are engaging and collaborating with our retail and manufacturing partners to make clever changes in our production, operations, and product range.
The SDG’s as a starting point
Trust is committed to playing a part in achieving the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To maximise our impact, we must focus on certain goals. With this in mind, we focus on the following goals:
SDG8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
We prioritise decent work and economic growth for all by creating a safe, inclusive environment for employees of all ages and backgrounds. This is achieved by having a strong Equality, Diversity & Inclusion programme that focuses on our employees’ physical health, professional growth, and equal treatment. We also commit to decent working conditions at our manufacturing partners, holding our suppliers to a Supplier Code of Conduct to avoid modern slavery, child labour, and ensure the well-being of all involved in our supply chain.
SDG12: Responsible Consumption and Production
With a goal to become circular by 2040, Trust has developed a three-step plan to increase our responsible consumption and production. Firstly, we are committed to using sustainable materials wherever we can in our products and packaging, from PCR plastics to FSC®-certified carton. Secondly, we ensure that as much of our products and packaging itself is easy to recycle, for instance by replacing PVC plastic and foam with other materials that are easier to recycle. Finally, our products are designed to be durable, maximising the lifespan of the product and ensuring less resources are used on replacing products.
SDG13: Climate Action
We are aiming for carbon neutrality by 2030 with regards to our operations. In order to achieve this, we are focusing both on reducing the impact of our company and our products. When it comes to the company, we are working on the reduction of our energy use, for instance by using 100% renewable energy in our offices and using only EV and hybrid cars for our car fleet. In our products, we ensure the use of recycled and renewable materials, and have also optimised our packaging to allow for more items to be shipped per pallet and container, resulting in less materials used and a reduction of overall transport
Three-time EcoVadis Gold Medal winner
We are a three-time winner of the EcoVadis Gold Medal, an achievement which places us in the top 5% of sustainable companies and the top 2% of companies in our industry. To achieve a high rating, companies must demonstrate a robust environmental management system, strong social responsibility practices, adherence to high ethical standards, and effective sustainable procurement processes; qualities which Trust is pleased to have maintained for three years in a row.
