Set aside 1% of turnover

“Sustainability is essential to our future. Embracing this principle, Gaze Burvill sets aside 1% of turnover for its environmental causes fund, which supports the work of Woodland Heritage, a charity devoted to improving the sustainable management and health of the UK’s forests.”

Uses certified timber

The oak used in its outdoor kitchens and outdoor furniture is grown and imported from forests in France, and the company says it takes great care to ensure that all timber suppliers are PEFC or FSC certified.

Installed solar panels

In 2016, PV array (solar panels) were installed on the workshop roof, reducing consumption of non-renewable energy whilst shifting energy use towards renewable sources. The panels generate 44Kw of power directly into the workshop with any surplus being fed back into the National Grid.
