community cutlery
Yorkshire
We are a UK based business and we want to be as environmentally friendly as
possible, but as a business which specialises in cutlery, it’s inevitable that a
large percentage of our stock is going to be produced overseas. We love buying
from UK makers, it makes sense on many levels and we do so wherever we can, but
when it comes to knife making, if we want our shop to represent the best that
the world has to offer, then there are certain makers, companies & countries
that are an absolute must when sourcing products. So having resigned ourselves
to the fact that if we want to offer our customers a carefully curated range of
product from some of the best makers in the world, we are going to have to air
freight these products to our home base the UK. With this firmly in mind we set
about looking at what we could do to help ease this environmental burden (did
you know that transportation is one of the worlds biggest polluters? making up
24% of the worlds total CO2 emissions in 2016!) and offset the CO2 from our
business activities.
