Our Impact

At Pure Table Top, we care about the way we do business. That’s why we are pulling our socks up and holding ourselves, and our industry, accountable. We all have a responsibility to our planet and everything in it. So whatever we do - from our supply to our value chains - we work to design, manufacture, and promote homeware products that are elegant, innovative and responsibly sourced.

We’re not perfect. But we’re on an exciting journey of sustainable transformation to do better. Take a look at where we are now and the direction we’re headed in our 2021 Impact Report.

Our Sustainable Values

Planet

You can’t reduce what you don’t measure. That’s why as a business we are committed to documenting the impact we have. From tackling climate change to introducing better working conditions, we want to do our bit. As part of this commitment, we have pledged to the United Nations Race to Zero campaign in order to achieve net zero emissions before 2050.

Product

Our product mission is to evaluate and reduce the impact of every single product that we design, source and deliver. That’s why we have:

Eliminated nearly all plastic packaging (<1%)
Impact measured product across 5 categories (circularity, ecosystem impact, climate impact, livelihoods & wellbeing, and purpose)
Looked to alternative, sustainable material sources
Increased the recycled content of new product

Partners

We work with partners whose values and aspirations align with our own. We select companies that consistently demonstrate a willingness to improve their environmental and social record, backed by ambitious but realistic targets. We are trying our best to use materials and processes which reduce the negative impact on the local environment, whilst providing practical guidance to suppliers on how to sustainably reduce GHG emissions, wastage and hazardous chemical usage.

People

Pure’s people are central to everything we do. When they flourish, Pure flourishes. We give our employees an inclusive working environment where their voices are heard and valued everyday.

We are a proud Accredited Real Living Wage Employer and give back to our employees through initiatives including paid volunteering days, specialist healthcare and financial wellbeing access.
