We're Working With Who?

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)

FSC Approved - Sustainable Forests

When designing our notebooks and diaries, we wanted to produce them sustainably using eco-friendly materials. Whilst quality and customer experience are paramount, we wanted to find a way to provide quality

paper to our customers sustainably. Therefore, we only use FSC approved paper. This means our customers can be confident they are helping to ensure our forests are alive for generations to come.

FSC paper comes exclusively from sustainable sources and more information can be found here:

Our notebooks and diaries are also fully recyclable themselves. We feel strongly that the environment needs to be protected and paper should be sourced responsibly.

Organisations such as FSC have made it easy for companies to source paper sustainably so there really is no excuse!

Eco-Alliance

Sustainability is one of our core values here at Avorium. Not only do we want to reduce our impact on the environment, but we also want to actively contribute to its recovery. Being part of The Eco-Alliance run by No Issue gives us the opportunity to do just that. The Eco Alliance “is a growing community of businesses, makers, and brands who choose to utilize sustainable packaging and are committed to being better together.” It’s so important for us to be part of a community like this as it helps us to be sustainable at every step. There are some fantastic small businesses that are part of the Eco-Alliance that we can be inspired by every day. We are pushed to always be reviewing and improving our practices. One thing we’ve learnt is that there is always something you can do to better the processes within your company! Read more here:

As a small business in York, we are so lucky to be able to be part of all these fantastic communities. We have had countless tourists sent our way from the wonderful team at Visit York. We’ve learnt some valuable lessons from our new friends at She Loves York, most of whom are small business owners themselves. The Eco Alliance is educating us on how we can become more and more sustainable both with our supply chain and business operations. And of course the Forest Stewardship Council continues to make it easy for us to ensure our paper is sourced ethically and sustainably.

 

For all these reasons we are so pleased to be part of these incredible communities. Thank you everyone and we look forward to working with you for many years to come!
