In the marketplace

Banner is committed to supporting both customers and suppliers in delivering best practice in CSR.

Ethical sourcing

We source from a large supplier base located all over the world and are committed to ensuring that our suppliers maintain ethical and sustainable business practices. We actively encourage our suppliers to implement environmental management systems and will not knowingly source from companies who fail to meet our stringent ethical and environmental criteria.

Globe & Tick™ products

Our Globe & Tick™ accreditation scheme makes it easy to select environmentally preferred products, all of which have been stringently assessed using criteria laid down by an independent expert. Since its launch 15 years ago, the range has been expanded and now features over 1,100 products, which equates to 17% of our total product lines.

Green Guide

The Green Guide, now in its sixth edition, secured a Green Apple Award in 2009. It includes details of our range of Globe & Tick™ products as well as information about sustainable services and in-house environmental initiatives. By offering the Green Guide online we reduce the number of paper catalogues we produce, reducing paper consumption and distribution costs.
