At NVS Group, weโre committed to making positive changes for our planet. We know that as the UKโs leading veterinary wholesale and services provider, we have a responsibility to reduce our environmental impact. So, we want to share with you some of the steps weโre taking to become a more sustainable company.
Embracing the Circular Economy
We believe in the power of reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink. Itโs not just a catchy phrase โ itโs how we approach our business every day. Weโre constantly looking for ways to use fewer raw materials, extend the life of our products, and turn what was once considered waste into something useful.
Sourcing Sustainably
Weโre proud that over half of our Select Everyday range is made right here in the UK. This doesnโt just support local businesses โ it also means less transportation and lower emissions. Weโre always on the lookout for more sustainable product options to offer you.
Going Digital
Weโre embracing digital solutions wherever we can. Itโs not just about keeping up with the times โ itโs about reducing our reliance on paper and other consumables. Our โDigital Firstโ approach is helping us cut down on waste across our operations.
Greener Transportation
Weโre working hard to reduce our โcarbon pawprintโ when it comes to getting products to you. While weโre still on this journey, weโre exploring new technologies to make our deliveries more environmentally friendly.
Our Sustainable HQ
Our new headquarters, Spitfire House, is a testament to our commitment to sustainability. Itโs energy-efficient, uses solar power, harvests rainwater, and even has charging points for electric vehicles. Weโre proud of its โexcellentโ BREEAM rating, which means it meets high standards for environmental performance.
Recycling Matters
Did you know we recycle over 380 tonnes of packaging each year? Thatโs about the weight of 63 elephants! Plus, our black tote boxes are made from 100% recycled plastic. Itโs all part of our effort to close the loop and reduce waste.
We Need Your Help
Sustainability isnโt a solo effort โ we need your help too. Here are some ways you can join us:
- Return your tote boxes so we can reuse them
- Use our waste collection service
- Combine your orders to reduce transport emissions
- Choose sustainable products when you can
- Improve your stock control to reduce returns
Weโre not perfect, and we know we have a long way to go. But weโre committed to this journey towards sustainability. Every small step counts, and together, we can make a big difference. Thank you for being part of our efforts to create a greener future for veterinary care in the UK.
