In a conscious effort to respond to the impact of our trade upon the environment we’ve sought and attained various accreditations that reflect this ethos. We are now FSC and PEFC accredited and are well on the way to achieving ISO 14001. With these awards it means we now form a chain of custody which aims to ensure the future of the world’s forests. It also means that everyone at Argent has been trained and fully aware of the practices expected by the chain of custody.

For the customer it means that when using an accredited stock, this can be indicated by our unique logo for FSC, PEFC or both on your work. This obviously shows your environmental awareness too.

Throughout the offices and factory, practices including separate paperwork (kept to a minimum) raw material separation and finishing requirements are constantly adhered to. All our waste products are separated and either recycled or disposed of by authorised and certificated contractors.

It may only seem like a little effort in a large world but in the immortal words of that giant supermarket “every little does help”
