Bathrooms products supplier HiB has formed a strategic partnership with business sustainability platform Futureproof as the next phase of its ESG journey.
Futureproof is a one-stop-shop for businesses to manage their sustainability journey and progress, helping them to measure, reduce and offset carbon emissions, manage their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance, achieve, maintain or improve their B Corp certification and analyse and improve the sustainability of their supply chain.
HiB says that the partnership will help the company integrate its sustainability efforts seamlessly into the core of HiB’s business practices. It will allow it to analyse and enhance its entire supply chain, look at emission reduction strategies and ensure it adheres to the highest ethical governance standards.
HiB people and ESG director Emma Cuggy said: “A part of HiB’s mission is to make a substantial difference to the lives of our people, partners, and the world we live in. Because of this, ESG is high on our priorities and having Futureproof as our sustainability partner will allow us to make meaningful change and measure our success so that we can work towards our vision in the years to come.”
Commenting on the partnership, Futureproof sustainability expert James Skirrow said: “HiB joined Futureproof, having already built a strong foundation within sustainability. Over 2024 and beyond, we are incredibly excited to see HiB excel further in this space.
“Emma and the team are focused on baking all things ESG directly into the core business functions – a fantastic sign for me of a company that is not only prioritising this work but highlighting that HiB will be leading from the front with their actions.”
He added: “HiB will be taking a holistic approach, from analysing its supply chain and continuing to learn more about the emissions as a company to its overall governance and how it works with its employees. Nothing is off the table for this exciting evolution in HiB’s sustainability journey.”
