Our Ethical Responsibility

Our Ethical Responsibility

At The Home Shutter Company, sustainability is more than a commitment - it’s a priority woven into every stage of our operations, from responsible sourcing to ethical manufacturing. We believe that creating a beautiful, comfortable home shouldn't come at the expense of our planet. That’s why we take pride in aligning our practices with some of the most rigorous ethical standards in the industry. Here’s how we’re doing our part:

1. Ethically Sourced, 100% Certified Hardwood

Our commitment begins with our materials. All of our timber is sustainably sourced, 100% certified hardwood and carefully selected to meet strict environmental standards. By choosing ethically sourced timber, we not only reduce our environmental footprint but also support sustainable forestry practices. This ensures a steady and healthy supply of timber that doesn’t harm our environment but supports reforestation efforts.

2. Helping to reduce Environmental Impact

From packaging materials to on-site installation practices, our team is dedicated to minimising waste and maximising recycling efforts. Every part of our process is designed to reduce environmental impact: all packaging waste is responsibly disposed of through fully recyclable methods. By choosing The Home Shutter Company, customers can rest assured that each shutter installation is backed by our pledge to protect and preserve the environment.

3. Reforestation: Partnering with Ecologi

As suppliers of solid hardwood shutters, we know how important it is to give back to the planet. In partnership with Ecologi Ltd, we proudly plant one tree for every shutter order. This partnership allows us to actively contribute to reforestation, promoting biodiversity and aiding in the fight against climate change. By replenishing harvested trees, we work toward a continuous and sustainable supply of timber while addressing habitat loss and deforestation.

4. Tested and Assessed for Ethical Standards

We ensure that our products adhere to the highest international standards with the following certifications and practices:

SGS Testing: Our wood products meet international phytosanitary regulations, guaranteeing that all materials are safe, durable and responsibly sourced.

Impactt Assessment: Our production line undergoes regular assessments to uphold ethical workmanship standards. This process ensures that every shutter produced is crafted with care, integrity and accountability.

Small Choices, Big Impact

Our dedication to ethical and sustainable practices stems from a genuine concern for our planet. Every shutter that makes its way into a home represents our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. By focusing on sustainable sourcing, responsible waste management, and reforestation, we’re doing our part to create a brighter, greener future.
