Leading our field in sustainable business practice
Anyone that knows Red-Inc will testify that deep within our makeup is a passion to run our business in the most sustainable and ethical way possible. This is the ethos from which the company was founded and how it continues to be run today. It has been our quest to create a company that fundamentally puts people and the planet above profit, and where honesty and impeccable business practice is our trademark.
Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals
Our planet is experiencing significant economic, social and environmental challenges, with many people getting behind making a change from Prince William to David Attenborough.
Operating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly business is becoming more and more important and we understand that. It is the core of who we are and we are experts in helping businesses to improve their net zero emissions within their office supply chain.
We believe all businesses have a vital role to play in combating issues such as climate change, poverty and gender inequality and we must accept responsibility for our operations, the products we sell, and our supply chains.
The Sustainable Development Goals define global priorities and aspirations for 2030 and are a call to action to end poverty and create a more sustainable future. Red-Inc will be strategically influencing the SDG’s and will pursue opportunities to solve societal and environmental challenges through business innovation and collaboration.
We will align our policies and use both The SDG Compass and BIA as tools to ensure sustainability remains at the heart of the Red-Inc mission.
As a Net Zero emissions business, you can trust us as your office supplies company to do what is best for you and meet your own emission KPI’s. Our green office supplies have an environmental benefit over standard supplies used in most offices. Not only do we provide eco-friendly office supplies, we also work with you to look at your business emissions and see what we can do to help improve these within our supply chain.
