We’re absolutely chuffed to have earned Gold Standard across all areas of the programme! But we’re not stopping there - we’re already working on ways to do even better (because there’s always more good to be done).

"At Paperstone, we believe that being socially responsible is not just a buzzword, but a genuine commitment to making a positive impact on our community and the world around us. We understand that as a small business, we may not have the resources of larger companies, but we firmly believe that every effort counts, no matter the size."
