PROTECTING COMMUNITIES

Actively protecting workforces, the environment, and our communities

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Here at Stronghold Global, we are committed to protecting workforces worldwide, but to do this, we believe that we must also help protect our communities and planet. Therefore we are taking our commitment and responsibility towards the environment very seriously and, as such, we have introduced several sustainable measures to reduce our carbon footprint.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENTS

We have a robust Environmental Management System and are ISO 14001 certified.

We are members of SCHOOL, Supply Chain Sustainability.

All our lighting is LED.

All our packing boxes and tapes are 100% recyclable and biodegradable.

We use recycling bins for WEEE & waste batteries.

We use DPD for our deliveries; DPD abides by sustainable practices and uses electric vans wherever possible.

Our garments are made from recycled or sustainably sourced fabrics.

We work closely with waste disposal experts to ensure maximum recycling of used textiles as part of our Zero Waste to Landfill mission.

We have a forest and commitment to grow 630 trees, which will absorb 57.88 t* of CO2.

ZERO TO LANDFILL SOLUTION

Stronghold Global has implemented a Zero to Landfill commitment to ensure that used textiles are reused, recycled or recovered, guaranteeing they won't end their life in a landfill site. We recognise that different businesses have different specific requirements. Therefore, our solutions can be individually tailored around collecting and recycling end-of-life textiles to best suit your needs.

TREEDOM PARTNERSHIP

In April 2022, Stronghold Global partnered with Treedom to help green the planet. This partnership brings environmental and social benefits to different communities, including global CO2 absorption, biodiversity conservation, as well as income opportunities, training, and empowerment, which helps create long-lasting bonds between people, communities and the environment.

With Treedom, we planted a Stronghold Global Forest in Ghana, Haiti, and Tanzania. Our forest currently consists of 230 trees, including lemon, coffee, avocado, cashew, and orange trees – with a commitment to add 200 additional trees in 2023 and 200 more in 2024. We hope this forest stands as a reminder of our commitment to protecting the planet, people and communities near and far.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

As a family business, we share a heart for our community and proudly support the efforts to improve our local area. We understand the importance of giving back and believe in answering the call when support is needed.

In addition to sponsoring our local football club, Swindon Town FC, local hockey team Swindon Wildcats, and local pro-golfer Joe Retford, we have also been involved with several community projects. Some of our favourite projects were providing the Wiltshire School System with PPE to prepare them for reopening after Covid, assisting with the Afghan refugee support mission, and supporting charities like Wiltshire Air Ambulance and Aerobillity.
