EBB & the Environment
We at Elliott Baxter recognise that in pursuing our business objectives we have a responsibility to protect and nurture the environment. By exercising proper control over our activities we will promote the use of sustainable resources and discourage wasteful or damaging practices.
The timber used in the manufacture of the pulp which creates the paper and board we stock comes from sustainable and well-managed forests. The timber is treated as a crop with replanting programmes exceeding the quantity of felled trees.
In November 2008 we were successfully awarded accreditation to ISO 14001. This is an international standard that specifies a process for controlling and improving a company's environmental performance. This certificate is valid for all our sites across the UK and Ireland.

As the UK's leading independent paper and board merchant, our aim is to combine service excellence with an environmentally friendly approach, setting the standards for best practice in our industry. Our commitment to minimise our impact to the environment demonstrates how seriously we take this issue. The success of this policy, which we will review regularly, relies on everyone being actively involved. We all have a valuable role to play in showing that good environmental policy at work is good business.
