Sustainability
Sustainability is not an initiative at Jardan. It is a foundational principle that informs every decision we make. From achieving B Corp certification and maintaining carbon neutral operations for over a decade, to embedding circular design across our product range and powering our manufacturing with renewable energy, this report reflects our long-term commitment to creating meaningful change.
It captures the progress we've made, the work still underway, and the values that continue to shape our future.

Jardan adopts a 'Made for Life' philosophy and this informs our decisions about design, sourcing of materials, business relationships, manufacturing, delivery, use and recovery.
A regenerative approach where we seek to manage our own footprint but also make a positive contribution to the environment and society.
A circular economy approach where we consider the complete life cycle of a product at every stage and how its value can endure for as along as possible.
Working with local and like-minded people and orginisations who share our values and commitment to a sustainable future.
