Pangolins Sustainability Policy
At Pangolins, every decision we make is guided by our commitment to people, planet, and purpose. As an eco-luxury gifting brand, we believe true luxury is grounded in responsibility, and we are dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint while raising awareness of endangered pangolins and the natural world they represent.
1. Ethical Product Sourcing
- We prioritise B Corp-certified, artisan, and UK-based suppliers wherever possible.
- All products are cruelty-free, ethically made, and selected for their quality, longevity, and low environmental impact.
- We avoid single-use plastics and actively seek products that are biodegradable, recyclable, or reusable.
2. Sustainable Packaging
- Our gift boxes are recyclable, reusable, or compostable, using materials such as FSC-certified card, natural papers, and seed paper.
- We offer a ‘Lower Impact Packaging’ option at checkout, reducing non-essential elements like ribbons, tissue paper, and decorative extras to minimise waste.
- Choosing Lower Impact Packaging is incentivised through reduced shipping costs, rewarding customers who share our planet-kind approach.
- Our branded stickers and labels are printed on eco-friendly, biodegradable stock with soy-based inks.
3. Carbon and Logistics
- We use UK-based fulfilment to reduce shipping distances and emissions.
- Orders are consolidated to minimise packaging waste and delivery frequency.
- We are exploring options for carbon-neutral delivery services and offsetting schemes.
4. Charity Partnership
- Pangolins proudly supports The Pangolin Project, helping to raise awareness and funds for the protection of one of the world’s most endangered species.
- A percentage of our profits and dedicated fundraising initiatives contribute to their work in wildlife conservation.
5. Continuous Improvement
- Sustainability is a journey. We are committed to:
- Regularly reviewing our supply chain to further reduce our footprint.
- Listening to customer feedback and adopting innovative new eco-friendly solutions.
- Reporting openly on progress through our website and social channels.
