Sustainability, Innovation & Social Values
Sustainability
At Tiger Supplies, great pride is taken in the company’s accomplishments, and the following document outlines its commitments to sustainability, innovation, partnerships, and more. As a leading provider of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and construction site supplies, Tiger Supplies has had the privilege of serving the construction and civil engineering sectors for over 22 years. The company is firmly dedicated to sustainability, ethical trading, social responsibility, and employee well-being, supported by certifications in ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Tiger Supplies maintains a proactive approach to sustainability, innovation, carbon reduction, inclusivity, mental health awareness, responsible trading, and community engagement.
Environmental Sustainability Initiatives
We are transitioning to a fleet of fully electric and hybrid vehicles by 2027. The company also regularly conducts energy audits to optimise energy consumption and aims for zero waste to landfill. This commitment supports a circular economy by focusing on waste reduction and recycling across the business.
Sustainable Logistics, Optimised Delivery
We collaborate with couriers that use advanced route
optimisation software to reduce the distance travelled and fuel consumed, cutting down emissions. Consignments are consolidated at central hubs and transported in bulk, which significantly reduces the carbon footprint of deliveries.
Carbon Reduction Plan
As part of our Carbon Reduction Plan, Tiger Supplies promotes remote working and cycle-to-work schemes to minimise commuting-related emissions. These initiatives are part of its ISO 14001 commitments and demonstrate the company’s active role in mitigating climate change.
Innovation
Tiger Supplies is committed to driving innovation across all aspects of its operations to improve both efficiency and sustainability. The company continuously invests in product development to enhance the performance and durability of its offerings while ensuring they align with environmental standards. Efforts to digitise internal processes help reduce paper usage and minimise energy consumption, supporting a more sustainable approach to day-to-day operations. Additionally, by utilising in-house Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing on garments, Tiger Supplies eliminates the environmental impact of relying on external suppliers and transportation, further reducing its carbon footprint. These initiatives reflect the company’s dedication to pioneering sustainable practices that benefit both its clients and the environment.
Innovation in Product Development
Through its Kaiyo Compostable Products initiative, Tiger Supplies offers eco-friendly alternatives to single use plastics. The company also provides sustainable PPE and site equipment made from recycled materials, reducing the environmental impact throughout its supply chain.
Digitisation and Efficiency
The company has digitised various internal processes,
including inventory management and customer service, which has reduced paper consumption and improved operational efficiency.
In-House DTF Printing for Garment Logos
We have expanded our heat-sealing capabilities with the introduction of Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing in-house. This development eliminates the need for external printing suppliers, enhancing production efficiency, improving quality control and reducing lead times.
