We know it's important that the ethos of your wedding supplier aligns with your own...

The wedding industry covers a very broad activity base, and you will have your own benchmark of how 'green' you want your suppliers to be.

All our partners are required to self-certify their compliance with at least four points on our 'Green Gauge':

Carbon 

Using renewable energy e.g., biomass boiler, solar energy, buying energy through a 'green' tariff, etc.

Environmental Policy

Have a written and enforced environmental policy.

Fair Trade & Diversity

Supporting Fair Trade; offering equal opportunity to all.

Finance

Food & Flowers

Sourcing seasonal, local and / or organic produce; growing their own produce or flowers.

Heritage & Culture

Supporting and working with their local community social projects; preserving our heritage either in buildings, community matters, agriculture or the environment.

Materials

Using renewable and/or recycled materials; making their own products; using or selling locally made, or UK-made products.

Transport 

Offsetting transport through a recognised scheme or planting trees; using hybrid, biodiesel or electric vehicles.

Waste

Recycling paper, cans and glass, ink cartridges; composting waste; re-using as much as they can like cardboard boxes, packaging, fabrics; reducing junk mail, printing double-sided, avoiding disposable items; buying recycled office materials and refuse sacks, etc.
