Our Sustainability Mission
At Kellica we recognise the importance of sustainability and believe it is our responsibility to make positive changes wherever possible. We are taking big steps to switch to more sustainable materials throughout our supply chain, reduce our plastic consumption and ensure our products are made in safe and fair working conditions.
Our Actions
- Reduce our consumption of single use plastic and PET boxes.
- Replace foam inserts with Fair Trade, cotton gift pouches.
- If there is an absolute need for plastic, we endeavour to use recyclable plastic.
- Switch to recyclable envelopes and biodegradable bubble wrap.
- Reuse old shipping cartons or responsibly recycle them.
- Use paper gummed tape instead of plastic packaging tape.
- Redesign our gift boxes to use, where possible, card that has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) and has a matte finish on printing, instead of gloss lamination to reduce our plastic use.
- Make our corrugated shipping boxes and paper fillers also FSC certified.
FSC Certified
What does FSC- Certified mean?
- Zero Deforestation - Although trees are harvested, there is no net loss of forest over time.
- Environmental protection - FSC certification requires biodiversity to be maintained, and high conversion value areas - including old growth forests – to be protected.
- Indigenous Peoples’ rights respected - FSC certification requires forest inhabitants to be consulted and engaged, and cultural rights to be maintained.
- Fair wage and work environment for workers - FSC certification requires training, safety and decent wages for all workers.
Supply Chain and People
We have a strong working relationship and full transparency with all of our licensed manufacturers to ensure products sold on Kellica were made in reputable factories that are audited on a regular basis. Factory audits are used to check for good employment practice and fair working conditions across the workforce so we feel confident in our suppliers and the supply chain of the products we sell.
