Top Of The Class!

We are delighted to have been accredited by the Cleaning and Hygiene Suppliers Association, achieving 100% compliance with the Associations ‘Accredited Distributor Scheme’.

Representing the major manufacturers and distributors of cleaning & hygiene products, the CHSA operates four independently audited accreditation schemes. Three for manufacturers of soft tissue products, plastic refuse sacks and industrial cotton mops and one for distributors.

The aim of the schemes is to drive up standards in the industry and to ensure that what’s on the label is in the box so the customer always gets what they order and importantly what they pay for.

We always strive to deliver the added value of quality products, backed up with an exceptional customer experience. We welcome the opportunity to be independently audited by external bodies to endorse our high standards and provide our customers with evidence of this.

We were absolutely delighted to achieve 100% compliance. We hope this accreditation provides our customers with further confidence and the assurance that we supply only products that meet the CHSA Distributor Accreditations rigorous high standards, and that they can be sure that what’s on the box is in the box.

The CHSA Distributor Accreditation Scheme, which was introduced in 2017, requires regular periodic site audits to ensure conformance. Distributors must also sign a declaration that they will only stock and offer for sale CHSA accredited products or products that conform to the same standards as required by the relevant CHSA Manufacturing Standards Accreditation Schemes.

Making a Clear and Credible Commitment – Celebrating Ten Years of Certification!

Futures Supplies is delighted to have its green credentials independently endorsed for the tenth year running achieving the credible and sought after Carbon Neutral certification.

This is a highly sought after accolade and recognises the company as an industry leader in its field for its environmental commitment and for delivering carbon neutral supplies to its customers.

We are proud to be taking a net zero position on emissions by measuring the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with our business, reducing them at source and then offsetting any unavoidable emissions by purchasing carbon credits.

Supporting the Andipatti Wind Power Project located in the state of Tamil Nadu, India, this 49.5MW wind power project delivers zero-emissions renewable electricity to the Southern regional grid. The project is validated and ‘Verified Carbon Standard’ (VCS).

This wind farm consists of 30 Vestas turbines, each of capacity of 1.65 MW, generating approximately 100,000 MWh of clean renewable electricity annually. This reduces CO2 emissions by displacing electricity which would have otherwise been drawn primarily from fossil fuel power stations; subsequently, the Andipatti Wind Power Project generates 90,000 tonnes of emissions reductions on average per year.

Demonstrating our commitment to reducing CO2 in accordance with leading edge quality assurance standards, the CarbonNeutral trademark is one of the worlds most recognised and robust brand marks for greenhouse gas emission reduction.

As a result of this reduction process coupled with offering the unavoidable emissions associated with our business, our carbon footprint is reduced to net zero.
