The Environment
We, at the GSPCA, take our responsibility of managing global resources seriously so source our products from Pet Tributes who do their utmost to source our products ethically and with consideration to environmental and social impacts.
The GSPCA regularly review our products and procedures in order to make improvements, such as: -
- transporting products in ways which minimize environmental impact
- using packaging made from recycled material wherever possible
- insisting suppliers who source raw materials in a responsible and sustainable way
- ensuring products are made from 100% natural biodegradable materials where possible
- regularly visiting all manufacturers to inspect working standards and practices and offering support in production methods where necessary
- using community based manufacturing wherever possible, such as in villages and co-operatives, rather than large factories. This, in turn, supports rural economies and reduces the environmental impact of commuting and migrant working and the consequent social impact on workers.
Please note that we are no longer able to cremate goats or sheep unless classed as pets. Please contact the States Crematorium for further details: 246541
