Banner has this week launched its B Green Catalogue, which aims to make sustainable procurement simpler for businesses and public sector organisations across the UK.
The new sustainable products catalogue includes a range of sustainable alternative products in categories from cleaning and catering to office supplies and printers.
The B Green Catalogue features a guide to understanding all the different product sustainability accreditations including Blue Angel, Carbon Neutral, Energy Star, Fairtrade, EU Ecolabel, The Nordic Swan Ecolabel, and the Rainforest Alliance. It also covers what to look for to determine if products that don’t have any accreditations are still green and worth looking into.
Julie Hadley, CSR, and Social Values Manager at Banner said, “We’re really proud to be bringing this new catalogue to the market. Our customers have been questioning the different sustainability accreditations of their product choices, so we have worked hard to provide the level of information we know they need.
“Everyone knows the supply chain plays a huge role in an organisation’s sustainability. In drawing together products with sustainable credentials and putting them side by side, we hope customers can make easier comparisons and better choices. That said, we are fully aware that the burning question of ‘which is better?’ remains unanswered.
“Banner is a responsible supplier, and our role is to provide connected thinking and consolidated supply to our customers. That’s why it’s so important to us to be a partner and a problem solver for office managers, procurement professionals, and facilities managers across the country.”
