The awareness of the environmental impact of plastic pollution gives credence to initiatives like Plastic Free July. This month offers a critical opportunity for individuals and businesses to make positive changes. At Fenn, we believe in leading by example and providing support to adopt sustainable practices. This July, we invite you to join us in reducing plastic consumption and making a lasting impact on our planet.

What is Plastic Free July?

Plastic Free July is a global movement that started in 2011, aimed at reducing plastic pollution. The campaign challenges participants to refuse single-use plastics for the entire month, raising awareness about the pervasive issue of plastic waste and encouraging long-term behavioural change. In 2023, over 140 million people worldwide took part in Plastic Free July, showcasing the growing momentum and collective desire to protect our environment.

The Alarming Statistics of Plastic Consumption

The numbers surrounding plastic consumption are both staggering and alarming:

These statistics underscore the urgent need for action to reduce plastic consumption and prevent further environmental damage.

Why is Plastic Free July Important?

Plastic pollution has severe implications for wildlife, ecosystems, and human health. Marine animals often mistake plastic for food, leading to ingestion that can be fatal. Microplastics, tiny fragments of degraded plastic, have infiltrated our food chain, posing potential health risks to humans. Additionally, the production and incineration of plastic contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change.

Participating in Plastic Free July is more than just a temporary challenge; it is a commitment to sustainable living. By reducing plastic use, we can decrease pollution, protect wildlife, and promote a healthier planet for future generations.

Tips to Reduce Plastic Consumption This July

Making small changes can lead to significant results. Here are a few tips to help you reduce your plastic footprint:

  • Switch to Reusable Bags: Ditch single-use plastic bags in favour of reusable cloth or jute bags. Many supermarkets in the UK now offer incentives for bringing your own bags.
  • Choose Sustainable Packaging: Opt for products with minimal or plastic-free packaging. Support brands that prioritise sustainability.
  • Use Refillable Water Bottles: Invest in a high-quality reusable water bottle. This not only reduces plastic waste but also saves money in the long run.
  • Avoid Single-Use Plastics: Say no to straws, cutlery, and plates. Carry your own reusable alternatives when dining out or ordering takeaway.
  • Support Local Initiatives: Participate in local clean-up events or join community groups focused on reducing plastic waste.

Make a Difference with Fenn

We are committed to sustainability and helping our clients transition to eco-friendly practices. By integrating plastic-free or plastic-reduced products into your orders, you can make a positive impact on the environment and inspire others to do the same.

This Plastic Free July, we encourage you to take action. Get in touch today to discuss how we can support your journey towards a more sustainable future. Together, we can make a difference.

It’s World Environment Day 2024! At Fenn, our commitment to protecting the environment is one of our core values, shaping every aspect of our operations.

What is World Environment Day?

World Environment Day was established by the United Nations in 1972, is celebrated annually on June 5th. It aims to raise global awareness about environmental issues and encourage action for the protection of our planet. Each year, World Environment Day focuses on a specific environmental theme and is hosted by a different country. This year’s World Environment Day campaign focuses on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience.

The History of World Environment Day

The first World Environment Day was held in 1974 and since then, it has grown into a global platform for public outreach, with participation from over 150 countries. Governments, businesses, and citizens alike engage in activities ranging from local clean-ups and tree planting to implementing sustainable practices in everyday life. Over the decades, World Environment Day has successfully brought environmental issues to the forefront of global discussions, promoting policy changes and individual actions that benefit the planet.

Why World Environment Day is Important

The importance of World Environment Day cannot be overstated. It serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to protect and restore the environment. According to the UN Environment Programme, ecosystem degradation affects the well-being of 3.2 billion people globally and costs around 10% of the global GDP in loss of ecosystem services each year. By focusing on doing the small things in business, we can be the catalyst for positive change in biodiversity, secure food and water supplies, and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

At Fenn, we believe that running a business that effectively serves our customers and environmental responsibility goes hand in hand. Here’s how we are making a difference:

  • Support for Environmental Organisations: We support WaterAid, carbon capture projects through the Woodland Trust, and other initiatives that promote environmental health.
  • Comprehensive Recycling: We extensively recycle cardboard, plastics, printer consumables, workwear, and shredding materials.

The History of our Efforts

In 2023, our commitment to carbon capture resulted in helping 110,580 tonnes of CO2 being captured—the equivalent weight of 22,000 female African elephants! Through our ISO14001 accreditation, we adhere to rigorous environmental standards, ensuring that our operations and supply chains minimise environmental impact while balancing cost and efficiency.

Celebrate World Environment Day 2024 with Fenn—because sustainability is not just our goal, it's our way of doing business.

It’s Noise Action Week 2024, and we’re excited to join the nationwide effort to raise awareness about the impacts of noise pollution and promote solutions for quieter, healthier environments. Whether you’re managing a bustling office, running an industrial site, or simply looking to make your home more peaceful, this week is the perfect time to both learn and take action.

What is Noise Action Week?

Noise Action Week is an annual campaign in the UK dedicated to promoting the benefits of reducing noise pollution. Organised by Environmental Protection UK, this week highlights the adverse effects of noise on health and wellbeing and provides resources and support for individuals, businesses, and communities to address and mitigate noise issues.

The History

Since its inception in 1995, Noise Action Week has grown significantly, bringing together local authorities, businesses, schools, and community groups to tackle noise pollution. Over the years, it has become a pivotal event for raising public awareness and encouraging the implementation of noise control measures. The campaign underscores the importance of creating quieter, more pleasant environments for everyone.

Why Get Involved in Noise Action Week?

Noise pollution is more than just an annoyance; it’s been linked to serious health problems, including stress, sleep disturbances, cardiovascular issues, and hearing loss. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), prolonged exposure to high levels of noise can significantly impact both physical and mental health. By participating in Noise Action Week, we can collectively reduce these risks and enhance the quality of life for our communities.

This years’ Noise Action Week, we’re providing practical solutions to help you reduce noise pollution effectively. Here are some products and strategies we recommend to combat noise pollution no matter what industry you’re in:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Earplugs: An obvious solution but a staple for noise reduction in various environments, from construction sites to busy offices. Earplugs are available as single-use or personal multi-use, making them a hygienic option for workplace visitors or temporary workers.
Earmuffs: Another easy and cost-effective solution, designed for environments with high noise levels. Modern earmuffs often come with padded headbands and ear cushions, ensuring comfort during prolonged use, and making them ideal for industrial settings or noisy workshops.

Office and Workplace Solutions

Noise Cancelling Headphones: Whether you’re working in the office, at home or in online meetings, noise cancelling headphones keep your workdays both peaceful and private.
Acoustic Dividers: An effective solution for reducing reverberation and echo in office spaces and meeting rooms. Made from high-density fibreglass, they absorb sound waves and improve speech clarity.
Noise reduction Ceiling Tiles: Designed to enhance acoustic performance in open-plan offices and educational settings, these ceiling tiles significantly reduce ambient noise levels.

Soundproofing Materials

Soundproof Curtains: Heavy-duty curtains are lined with multiple layers of sound-absorbing materials, effectively reducing noise transmission through windows and doors. They also offer thermal insulation, making them a dual-purpose addition to any office or home.
Acoustic Panels: These panels are perfect for targeted soundproofing, such as around noisy office equipment or in small meeting rooms. Their wedge-shaped design enhances sound absorption, reducing echo and improving overall room acoustics.
White Noise Machines: These devices generate a range of white noise and fan sounds, masking disruptive background noise and creating a more focused work environment.

Industrial and Construction Solutions

Acoustic Enclosures: These enclosures are customisable to fit around loud machinery, significantly reducing noise emissions.
Acoustic Barriers: Ideal for temporary noise control on construction sites, these portable barriers are lightweight yet highly effective.

Flooring & Carpets

Sound-Absorbing Rugs & Carpets: Designed to reduce noise in residential and office spaces, they help dampen footsteps and reduce echo, creating a quieter, more comfortable environment.

Participating in Noise Action Week is a fantastic opportunity to take concrete steps towards reducing noise pollution. Here’s how you can get involved:

1. Assess Your Environment: Use noise meters to identify areas with high noise levels.
2. Implement Solutions: Choose from our range of noise reduction products to address specific needs.
3. Educate and Advocate: Share information about the importance of noise control with colleagues, employees, and community members.
4. Get in touch with Fenn: We’re committed to supporting you in creating quieter, healthier spaces. Explore our products and let us help you make a difference this Noise Action Week 2024.

Celebrating Green Office Month: How We Help You Take Small Steps for a Brighter Future

 

As we step into this significant period of environmental awareness, it's time for us to reflect on the importance of this annual event. Green Office Month, celebrated throughout May, is more than just a reminder—it's a call to action for every one of us.

Born out of the urgent need to address environmental challenges, Green Office Month serves as a beacon of hope amidst growing concerns for our planet's health. It reminds us that we all hold the power to make a difference, whether it's through small everyday actions or larger collective efforts.

From climate change to pollution, the threats facing our planet are real and pressing. Green Office Month provides us with a platform to come together as individuals, communities, and businesses to tackle these challenges head-on. It's a time for us to rethink our practices, reimagine our impact, and renew our commitment to a more sustainable future.

For the workplace supplies industry, Green Office Month carries particular significance. Our sector plays a vital role in shaping the environmental landscape, from manufacturing processes to product distribution. However, it also presents us with an opportunity for positive change. By embracing sustainable practices and offering eco-friendly alternatives, companies like Fenn can not only minimise their environmental footprint but also lead the way towards a greener future.

At Fenn, we understand the significance of Green Office Month, and we're dedicated to playing our part in protecting the planet. Here's how we're helping our customers reduce their carbon footprint:

Delivery Impact Reports

Our innovative delivery impact reports provide customers with a breakdown of their deliveries and their carbon emissions. By understanding the environmental impact of their orders, businesses can make informed decisions to minimise their carbon footprint.

Consolidated Orders

We offer the option to consolidate orders, reducing the number of deliveries and thereby lowering carbon emissions associated with transportation. This simple yet effective measure helps our customers operate more sustainably.

Sustainable Alternatives

We’re proud to offer a wide range of sustainable alternatives across all product categories. Our team of experts can work with customers to audit their purchase history and identify green alternatives that align with their sustainability goals.

Recycling Service

Through our recycling service, we help businesses throughout the UK responsibly dispose of various materials, including clothing, furniture, paper, plastics, electronics, and warehouse waste. Recycling not only conserves valuable resources but also reduces waste sent to landfills, helping to mitigate environmental pollution.

Woodland Trust Credits

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we offer credits from the Woodland Trust, a leading conservation charity. These credits support reforestation efforts and help businesses offset their carbon emissions, making a tangible difference for the environment.

As we mark Green Office Month this year, we invite businesses to join us in taking small steps towards a brighter future. Whether it's through reducing waste, adopting eco-friendly practices, or supporting conservation efforts, every action counts. We're excited to discuss sustainability with your business and explore how Fenn can help you make a positive impact on the planet.

In January, we touched on our mission of curating workspaces that transcend functionality, igniting innovation and prosperity. Now it’s time to delve deeper into the fundamental components of our approach, their significance in unlocking the potential of your workplace and why we follow these fundamentals.

Understanding Your Needs: A Data-Backed Blueprint for Success

We believe that every individual workspace should bear unique characteristics, akin to their occupants. Research conducted by organisational psychologists like Adam Grant and Amy Wrzesniewski has underscored the importance of tailor-made work environments in enhancing employee engagement and performance. By delving into your requirements, we pave the way for bespoke solutions - meticulously aligned with your organisational ethos and objectives.

Furniture: Merging Comfort, Ergonomics, and Performance

Our dedication to ergonomics is rooted in a wealth of science. Studies published in journals such as Ergonomics and Applied Ergonomics emphasise the pivotal role of ergonomic furniture in reducing musculoskeletal discomfort and enhancing productivity. With our carefully curated selection of ergonomic chairs and collaborative workstations, we offer evidence-based solutions aimed at optimising both physical well-being and cognitive performance.

Flooring and Walls: The Psychology of Aesthetic Appeal

The impact of aesthetics on workplace ambience has been documented in literature. Research conducted by environmental psychologists like Dr. Sally Augustin underscores the influence of design elements on mood, creativity, and stress levels. Our floor and wall solutions aren't merely ornamental; it's a strategic effort to create an environment where your team is flourishing and emotional well-being is positive.

Art and Décor: Harnessing the Power of Environmental Stimuli

The integration of art into workspaces isn't merely an exercise in aesthetic embellishment; it's a deliberate strategy rooted in empirical evidence. Studies by neuroscientists like Semir Zeki and Anjan Chatterjee have revealed the deep impact of visual stimuli on cognitive processing and emotional resonance. With decking out your interiors, we craft environments that inspire creativity, foster emotional connection, and reinforce organisational identity.

Bespoke Spaces: Cultivating Collaboration and Cohesion

The potential of collaborative workspaces has also been documented by industry experts. Studies in journals such as Administrative Science Quarterly underscore the positive correlation between spatial proximity and collaborative behaviour. These insights have helped us plan spaces throughout the UK, creating environments that facilitate meetings, foster collaboration and strengthen team cohesion.

Relocation: From Disruption to Seamless Transition

There is a diverse range of challenges when relocating offices, yet evidence offers guidance on mitigating potential disruptions. Research conducted by John Bryson emphasises the importance of strategic planning, effective communication, and stakeholder engagement in ensuring a smooth transition. With our experts at the helm, we navigate the intricacies of relocation with precision and care, using best practices to minimise downtime and maximise productivity.

Repurposing and Recycling: Sustaining the Triple Bottom Line

In 2024, recycling furniture should be a strategic imperative for businesses. Research highlights the potential of circular economy practices in fostering environmental stewardship and economic resilience. Through our repurposing and recycling services, we embrace this ethos, transforming pre-existing materials into innovative new solutions while simultaneously reducing waste and carbon footprint.

It’s 2024! And discussions around diversity, equity, and inclusion have rightfully taken centre stage again. Yet, one aspect that often goes overlooked is the significance of women's workwear. From boardrooms to construction sites, the attire worn by women in the workplace not only reflects their personal style but also plays a crucial role in their comfort, confidence, and professional success.

Why Women's Workwear Matters

The importance of addressing women's workwear cannot be overstated. Research indicates that clothing significantly impacts perceptions of competence, authority, and professionalism in the workplace. A study by the Social Psychological and Personality Science journal found that attire influences not only how others perceive us but also how we perceive ourselves. Therefore, ensuring that women have access to appropriate, comfortable, and properly fitting workwear is essential for fostering a positive work environment and promoting gender equality.

Differences in Men's and Women's Workwear

Historically, women's workwear has been designed as a derivative of men's styles, resulting in ill-fitting garments that fail to accommodate the unique body shapes and sizes of women. The differences between men's and women's workwear extend beyond aesthetics to encompass functionality and comfort. For instance, women often require workwear with additional stretch, ventilation, and flexibility to accommodate movements and activities typically associated with their roles.

The Importance of Proper Fit

Fit is paramount when it comes to women's workwear. Ill-fitting garments can not only cause discomfort but also hinder mobility and confidence in the workplace. A study published in the Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management found that clothing fit significantly impacts self-perception, with properly fitting garments leading to increased feelings of confidence and competence. Therefore, investing in workwear that fits women correctly is not only a matter of comfort but also a strategic decision that can enhance productivity and morale.

Why Businesses Should Prioritise Women's Workwear

In a time where talent retention and employee satisfaction are paramount, prioritising women's workwear is not just a matter of inclusivity—it's a strategic imperative. Research conducted by McKinsey & Company found that gender-diverse companies are 15% more likely to outperform their peers, highlighting the business case for diversity and inclusion. By providing women with workwear that meets their needs and preferences, organisations can foster a more inclusive and supportive workplace culture, leading to higher employee engagement, retention, and overall performance.

The conversation surrounding women's workwear is not merely a matter of fashion—it's a reflection of broader issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. By acknowledging the unique needs and preferences of women when it comes to work attire, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to creating an environment where all employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to succeed. As we continue to strive for gender equality in the workplace, let us not overlook the significance of women's workwear in shaping perceptions, fostering confidence, and driving success.

We supply a wide range of women's workwear, kitting you out from head to toe. Get in touch with our team today to discuss your workwear needs.

Let's dive into the remarkable initiatives that showcase how we’re playing a pivotal role in making the UK more sustainable.

  1. Woodland Trust Partnership: Growing a Forest, Capturing Carbon

Our commitment to sustainability extends to the great outdoors through our ongoing partnership with the Woodland Trust. Having raised an impressive £1.37 million to date, we’ve played a crucial role in planting over 354,000 trees. Through the Carbon Capture® programme, the company not only mitigates CO2 emissions from its operations but also supports woodland conservation. A commendable 82,000 tonnes of CO2 have been captured, proving that sustainability can indeed take root from even the smallest of gestures.

  1. Electrifying the Fleet: Electric Vehicles and Charging Points

We have embraced the future with the purchase of electric vehicles for account managers and the installation of EV charging points. By electrifying our fleet, we’re not just reducing emissions but also contributing to the growing infrastructure for sustainable transportation.

  1. Digital Transformation: From Paper to Pixels

In a bid to reduce paper usage, we’ve undergone a digital transformation, minimising manual processing and optimising efficiency. This move not only streamlines operations but also reduces the environmental impact associated with paper production and waste.
