The Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment clearly has ambitious targets, and we know that all companies within SPL will embrace its aims and work towards maturity with enthusiasm and positivity.

🍃 The Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment

We understand that caring for the environment needs to be an integral part of the way we, and every other UK company, do business, and we are always exploring and implementing new ways to reduce our environmental impact. As part of this, we have signed up to the Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment.

The Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment is an online tool developed by NHS England to engage NHS suppliers in aligning with NHS net zero and sustainability goals. It enables them to share their sustainability practices, receive a ‘maturity’ score against NHS priorities showing the level they’re currently at, and identify areas for improvement.

The assessment encourages signatories to:
• Establish clear sustainability goals
• Implement a robust tracking system
• Engage in open dialogue around sustainability
• Adopt the most environmentally responsible practices
• Ensure ethical supply chains

We are really looking forward to working through the Evergreen Assessment levels. We know all SPL companies and staff are 100% behind our group sustainability goals, and this pathway for progress is an exciting way to both recognise our achievements and drive us forward.

♻ Net Zero targets
The NHS’s target is to achieve net zero by 2040 for its directly controlled emissions (the NHS Carbon Footprint) and by 2045 for the emissions it influences (like those from its supply chain). The UK's net zero target as a whole is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Did you know that the design and production teams at Mailbox don’t only manufacture the vast majority of products from our standard portfolio of materials handling solutions but can also modify them to create the perfect tailored solution for your business?

When our Sales Account Manager Bev Taylor visited a client recently to talk through the business’s process and facilities, the chat moved on to recycling. Although they had implemented basic external waste bins for recycling, waste was often mixed and therefore contaminated.

Offering our help, we agreed that a new style of bins would be better for their needs – a simple,yet effective recycling solution that combined functionality with clear, distinct labelling and cosmetic appeal that enhanced the general environment.

Working closely with the client, we came up with several design concepts to achieve the desired outcome. Upon approval, our manufacturing team set to work and produced three variants on the standard bin design. The lockable bespoke bins are durable, practical, recyclable and appealing –and most importantly, the customer loves them!

The new bins have transformed the way this business manages waste – can we help your business do the same? Contact us for a chat and together we’ll make materials management solutions that work exactly the way you want them to.

MAILBOX SUPPORTS A COLOURFUL PRIDE IN LONDON 2025

When Mailbox was approached by event organisers to provide boxes from its Tower Range for a Pride in London 2025 pop-up shop, we were very happy to help.

Since the first protest march in 1972, Pride in London has gone on to establish itself as an annual occurrence that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and supports equal rights. This year’s festival includes a vibrant mix of events, culminating in a spectacular parade through London’s streets that will feature over 300 groups and floats.

When is a box not a box…

As part of Pride in London, Walkers Court community space is hosting a pop-up shop, selling merchandise and, more importantly, creating an inclusive space for members of the LGBTQ+ community to relax, connect, and attend occasional events throughout June and into early July, leading up to the big parade on 5th July.

When we were approached by creative design and interior architecture studio B&J to lend the pop-up shop some large boxes to be used as display tables for the promotional goods, we immediately said yes. Not only is Pride in London a great cause to support, but we also love seeing our products used in new and imaginative ways.

A rainbow of storage solutions!

Pride in London’s familiar logo features a rainbow of colours to represent the diverse and inclusive nature of the LBGTQ+ community. We have echoed this in the colours of the boxes leant to the popup shop – red, pink, purple, orange, yellow, green and blue.

Allison Seabourne, Mailbox Sales Director, says: “We’re absolutely thrilled to support Pride in London in this way. We’re sure our boxes will show all the Pride in London merchandise off perfectly, helping to raise funds to support this and future events. It’s also great to think that we will be helping to create a warm, friendly space for the LGBTQ+ community for meet up. Our Tower materials handling range is one of our best-sellers, but this will definitely be one of the more imaginative and colourful uses we’ve seen our boxes put to!”
