Safpro recognises their responsibility towards protecting our environment and providing a sustainable present for future generations and it is a road that we are committed to travelling on.
We are proud to have launched Project Origin to focus on delivering tangible benefit for our immediate and wider communities, including those that we affect through the reach of our supply chain and our customers.
We have set out four key pillars which embrace our principal activities
within Project Origin which fit into Safpro’s three foundations of sustainability.
Recycle your used workwear and PPE
Our Foundations of Sustainability
Environmental
From internal ISO 14001 accreditation to partnering with clients to offset and measure carbon emissions. Each order has a carbon footprint and our goal is to reduce our clients’ impact on the environment.
Economical
Security of supply chain and ethical partnerships are growing responsibilities. Supporting customers with stock commitments and longevity of product contributed to your sustainability.
Social
Providing support and creating opportunities for our clients’ local communities and our own. Strengthening client relationships by contributing to their social value. Protecting livelihoods with our supply chain partners.
