Following EcoVadis Gold win, Trust outlines ambitious sustainability goals for 2023
Trust starts off the new year with great news of recently being awarded the Gold EcoVadis medal.
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.
Our Purpose: Making fair digital accessories the new norm. Fair for people. Fair for the planet. Fair prices. Our Vision: The choices we make each day truly matter. To be a driver for positive change, our products must be fairly produced and available to everyone. Our Mission: We are dedicated to offering fair and affordable digital accessories to everyone who wants to live-work-play in a clever and joyful way.
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:
The consumer electronics industry’s linear economy must become less dependent on declining resources. Only by recycling these resources can we grow responsibly. Our efforts are focused on removing as much as possible, reducing where we can’t and recycling what is left.
Read moreAs a company, we aim to be fully climate neutral in 2030. To get there, we are taking a comprehensive approach to the entire life cycle of the products: reducing our footprint step-by-step with sustainable sourcing, production, and processes.
Read moreMost impact takes place upstream in our value chain. We are engaging with our partners and suppliers to make fair and human changes.
Read moreWe are strongly reducing plastics used in our products and packaging and are making more use of materials from renewable resources. We are also aiming to improve the recyclability and optimize our logistics process to reduce CO₂ footprint. We will illustrate this by introducing an eco-rating system for our packaging and products. For example, a rating will be given based on the use of FSC certified cardboard or volume-optimized packaging free from plastics, foam and polystyrene. A higher rating will apply when packaging is the most environmentally friendly and the product itself is made of recycled materials.
