From Butler Tanner and Dennis’s website about sustainability:

“Butler Tanner & Dennis’s potential impact on the environment is a subject of constant and on-going discussion at all levels within our company and it is part of our business culture to be sure that we are environmentally responsible and to set ourselves standards and goals for future sustainability and compliance.

Our aim is nothing less than Carbon Neutrality.  This being said, we are FSC, PEFC and ISO14001 accredited. And that’s not all. We already have the environmental benefit of having all our operations under one roof in Frome. Our workforce are all local people and many of them travel to the factory on pushbikes, with more being encouraged and incentivised to do so.”
