A beautiful kitchen
shouldn’t cost the earth

Each and every Magnet kitchen is carefully considered and purposefully designed – and we apply this same care and attention when it comes to our impact on the environment.

 



Our mission for being better

Better. By nature  represents our ethos when it comes to sustainability. As a conscientious brand, we’re always striving for better – whether
that’s through regenerative product design or curating spaces that empower our customers to live more sustainably every day
 

 

Through our ongoing mission, we aim to:

1. Promote sustainable lifestyle innovations

We’ll encourage and assist sustainable living by taking action to support sustainable efforts in our local communities, working with eco-conscious partners and providing more sustainable products and advice for our customers. 

2. Drive circular materials and flows

We’ll drive innovation in our products with energy, water, food and cost savings in mind, and by promoting a circular economy - placing emphasis on using recycled materials and recycling waste, to divert materials from landfill wherever possible.

3. Transform our packaging  

We’ll transform our packaging by removing harmful single-use plastic from our ranges and delivering new carbon footprint reduction initiatives throughout our whole value chain. 

4. Reduce climate impact 

We’ll reduce our climate impact through our continued commitment towards renewable energy sources, zero waste, cleaner transportation and our collection of quality kitchens that are built to last. 

5. Promote a sustainable culture 

We’ll promote a sustainable culture by responsibly sourcing to minimise risks, promoting a sustainable supply chain and forming strong relationships with our suppliers - which is crucial to develop and offer attractive products to our customers.

At Magnet, we have a set of targets that we’re consistently
working hard to achieve – but we’re not there yet.

These targets keep us focused on the road ahead and set out clear milestones for us to work towards, as we continue to reduce our carbon footprint and empower our customers to reduce theirs.

Operations

We’ve reduced the carbon footprint from our operations and owned transportation by 71% since 2016.

Through making the change to renewable energy throughout our showrooms and factories, and transitioning to electric vehicles within our internal fleet, we’re well on our way to hitting our emissions target by 2026.

of our UK mainland stores run on renewable energy

Since 2019, all of our UK mainland stores operate using green energy. Only our Isle of Wight and Guernsey stores are unable to do so, due to a lack of renewable energy providers on islands off the UK mainland.

We’ve reduced the carbon footprint of our factory by 76% since 2016.

By swapping to renewable energy, heating the factory via the incineration of waste timber and installing biomass boilers, we’ve been able to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our factory. 

Of the timber waste from our supply chain is upcycled or repurposed. 

We upcycle through various outlets such as, sawdust chippings which go off to be upcycled into animal bedding for the cattle industry. We upcycle supply offcuts of panels to a supplier who upcycles into blanket boxes or bed headboards. All our other wood waste is repurposed for various uses.

ISO Standards

We’re fully compliant with the ISO-recognised standards for energy management.  

We manage all of our operations in accordance with the framework of The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001: Environmental Management Standard, 50001: Energy management systems, & the 45001 health and safety management standard complying fully with all relevant legislation applicable to these internationally recognized standards. 

We’re building sustainable stores

As a company that prioritises sustainability throughout our product and our service offering, it was important to us to do the same with our new store formats.

Since starting our store refresh programme in 2021, we’ve taken the utmost care and attention to make sustainable choices and limit our carbon footprint wherever possible – all as part of our ongoing commitment to reducing our climate impact and promoting circular materials and flows.
