At Avantis, our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and our ambitious target to achieve Net Zero by 2040 are fundamental to our organisational ethos. This mission influences every aspect of our operations, driving us to innovate and find sustainable solutions, even during routine activities like clearing out old marketing materials.
Recently, the marketing team at our Gloucestershire headquarters undertook a collateral clear-out and discovered a variety of branded items such as pencils, t-shirts, and drawstring bags. While these materials were no longer of use to the team, they were determined not to send them to landfill. This commitment led them to discover The Scrapstore, a local charity dedicated to repurposing recycled materials for creative activities.
The Scrapstore transforms donations into valuable resources for children’s activities in community groups, clubs, and classrooms. This partnership aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals and allows us to contribute positively to the local community.
We look forward to ongoing collaboration with The Scrapstore and commend their impactful mission. By donating these materials, we not only support our ESG objectives and reduce landfill waste but also help nurture creativity and imagination in young minds.
