Understanding Our Carbon Footprint
You can only reduce what you measure. We track our emissions using the internationally recognised Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, which splits them into three scopes.
Scope 1
Direct Emissions
Fuel used by our own delivery vans and business vehicles, plus heating for our office and warehouse.
Scope 2
Purchased Energy
Electricity for lighting, warehouse equipment and office appliances. Part of our site is already powered by solar, and we aim to increase that wherever we can.
Scope 3
Our Value Chain
Everything upstream and downstream of us – from making the products we buy to how you use and dispose of them. For most businesses, this is the largest share of all.
Where Our Scope 3 Emissions Come From
- Purchased goods and services – making the cleaning products, packaging and supplies we buy.
- Upstream transport – moving raw materials to manufacturers and finished products to our UK warehouse.
- Waste from our operations – disposing of and treating waste from our office and warehouse.
- Downstream transport – deliveries to you, by our own vans locally and trusted couriers nationwide.
- Use of sold products – for example, hot water and energy used during cleaning.
- End of life – recycling or disposing of products and packaging once they are used.
How We Are Reducing Them
- Sustainable sourcing – prioritising eco-friendly formulations, concentrates and reduced-packaging options.
- Working with suppliers – gathering better data and encouraging lower-carbon products across our supply chain.
- Building a baseline – using supplier data, our purchasing patterns and industry-standard emission factors.
- Smarter logistics – route planning for our vans and efficient courier partners.
- Promoting efficient products – such as Tersano SAO on-demand systems, Greenspeed Probio and Trebio concentrates and Pod in a Pouch refills.
- Continuous learning – refining our methods as carbon accounting and best practice evolve.
Why measure if we don’t have to? Mandatory Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) mainly applies to larger UK businesses. We believe every business should understand its footprint, so we are measuring ours anyway – starting with the areas we control directly (Scopes 1 and 2) and the parts of our supply chain we can influence most.

Greener Deliveries, Together
Sustainability does not stop at the product. It is also about how it reaches your door. Here is what we are doing, and how a few small choices on your side make a real difference.
What we do
Lower-Carbon Deliveries From Purozo
- Intelligent route planningRoute optimisation software plans our van routes around traffic, delivery windows and vehicle capacity to cut fuel and mileage.
- Consolidated deliveriesWe group orders for customers in the same area, so there are fewer journeys and fewer vans on the road.
- Full vans, fewer tripsEvery van is packed efficiently to capacity, lowering the carbon footprint of each delivery.
- A considered approach to our fleetWe run modern, fuel-efficient vans and are watching electric and alternative-fuel options closely. “Electric” is not automatically greener once the full picture is considered, so we will switch when it genuinely makes sense.
How you can help
Small Choices, Big Differences
- Choose sustainable rangesOpt for brands like Tersano, Pod in a Pouch and Greenspeed, eco-certified products or refill and reuse systems.
- Combine your ordersPlacing orders together means fewer separate deliveries and more efficient routes.
- Be flexible on deliveryIf your site allows, a flexible delivery window helps us group your order with others nearby.
- Use products the right wayFollow recommended dilution rates for concentrates, recycle packaging properly and avoid unnecessary returns.

Our People and Practices
Being responsible goes beyond the planet. As a family business, we are committed to a workplace that is safe, respectful and ethical for everyone on our team – and throughout our supply chain.
Modern Slavery Statement

As a UK cleaning products supplier, we understand our responsibilities under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. While we are currently below the threshold for mandatory reporting, we believe it is our moral and ethical duty to address this issue proactively. Our commitments include:
- Ethical sourcing: we work with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical labour practices, and carry out due diligence on our direct suppliers to identify and reduce risk.
- Employee awareness: our team understands the risks of modern slavery and how to report concerns.
- Robust policies: our internal policies reflect our commitment to acting ethically in all our business relationships.

Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Purozo is dedicated to providing a workplace free from sexual harassment and any other form of harassment or discrimination. Everyone has the right to feel respected, valued and safe at work. Sexual harassment is unlawful, unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Our policy includes:
- A clear definition of sexual harassment, including unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that creates a hostile, intimidating or offensive environment.
- Zero tolerance: every report is taken seriously and investigated promptly, fairly, confidentially and impartially. Disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, will be taken against anyone found to have engaged in sexual harassment.
- Clear reporting routes: employees can raise concerns with their manager, HR or a designated impartial contact.
- Support: anyone affected has access to confidential advice and assistance.
- Prevention and training: regular communication and, where appropriate, training on workplace conduct.
All employees are encouraged to familiarise themselves with our full policy on harassment and discrimination.
Safe Handling of Products

- Comprehensive training on safety data sheets (SDS), hazard identification, risk assessment and correct use of PPE.
- Personal protective equipment such as gloves, eye protection and respiratory masks is provided, and its use is mandatory where required.
- Proper storage following manufacturer guidelines, with incompatible chemicals segregated, correct ventilation and secure containment.
- Spill response protocols covering containment, clean-up and safe disposal to protect people and the environment.
- Manual handling training for everyone who lifts and moves products.
Warehouse and Forklift Operations
Our on-site warehouse is the heart of our operation, and keeping it safe is a top priority. We follow strict safety standards and legal requirements:
- Qualified personnel: only staff with valid, up-to-date certification and in-house training operate forklifts and other powered trucks.
- Regular maintenance: all equipment is inspected and serviced regularly, and anything defective is taken out of use immediately.
- Clear safety zones and signage: marked pedestrian walkways, forklift areas and safe zones throughout.
- Traffic management plan: pedestrians and forklifts are kept apart wherever possible.
