Happy Earth Day everyone
As responsible members of the Filey community, it is our aim to exhibit and supply beautifully designed and well made artwork, but we don't want this to be at the expense of the earth or the people who live on it.
The works for sale in the gallery are luxury items, and there is really no justification for damaging natural environments or exploiting workers in their creation.
All three of our primary supply partners hold FSC™ (Forest Stewardship Council) Chain of Custody certifications, meaning that we can offer you the added reassurance and peace of mind about the source of the timber in our products.
Dealing with FSC™ certified suppliers gives you the assurance that our suppliers have robust internal processes and ensures a complete chain of custody throughout the supply chain. Both ourselves and our customers are becoming more focused on sustainability and green credentials, and we are well placed to supply the increasing demand for these products.
As framers, our main inputs are wood sourced material such as moulding, mountboard and rear board, and glass, which is an energy intensive product to manufacture. In recognition of our obligation to preserve the planet for future generations and offset our carbon footprint, not only do we use an 'all green' energy tariff within the gallery, but since the beginning of 2021 we have planted one tree for every length of moulding purchased, through the work of 'Just One Tree', a total of 2759 trees so far.
In addition to using sustainably sourced materials and carbon offsetting, we also offer options such as MDF-free and plastics free framing, removing the use of nylon cord for example, to further reduce the legacy impact of our activities.
This approach to sustainability has seen us win the Scarborough Business Award for Sustainability and has helped us secure framing work for other environmentally minded organisations, including Greenpeace.
