Sustainability at Rivet and Hide

Sustainability is an important factor in shaping how we run our business. From the brands we stock to the in-house practices we foster; we’re committed to a more considered approach to style.

We understand that no business can be 100% sustainable. What matters to us is making a genuine and tangible effort to improve our processes and operate in an ever more sustainable way. It’s a constant and iterative endeavour and one we are committed to getting right.

We work closely with our brands to ensure that they’re on the same page, too. The goods we carry are made ethically and to the highest standard by skilled and well-paid workers. We want you to get the most out of those goods long after you’ve bought them from us.

We’re becoming a Net Zero Business

At Rivet and Hide we have joined with other forward thinking independent retailers in signing up to the SME Climate Hub. This global initiative marks our commitment to cutting our carbon emissions in half by 2030 and reaching ‘net zero’ by 2050. These plans are in line with the Paris Climate Target, to keep global warming below 1.5°C. We have signed up to a target with the United Nations SME Climate Hub to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040. This goal is ten years ahead of the UN target.

We’re providing Carbon Neutral Delivery

The high quality, ethically-sourced products that we sell have environmental benefits. However, it’s true that our endless search to find you the best global products results in a lot of mileage. To ensure that we address this impact head on, we have partnered with DHL. We signed up to the DHL Go Green initiative to formally commit to eradicating the carbon footprint of our logistics and delivery.

Rivet & Hide are among the first wave of pioneering businesses to join Go Green. In doing so, we will support DHL’s aim to reduce carbon emissions and remove any remaining emissions from the atmosphere.

DHL has always led the way in using innovation to reduce the carbon impact of logistics.
Their carbon reducing strategy includes an ever-growing fleet of electric vehicles and the use of green energy. Alongside their existing strategy, DHL will also invest in high-quality climate protection and emission reduction projects. These investments will neutralise the CO2 emissions of every parcel sent by Rivet & Hide.

The sustainable choices we make as a business have no impact on the quality of the goods or services that we offer. We simply hope to enhance our offering. As customers, you will now receive your packages in the knowledge that you’re helping us to lead the way to a more sustainable future.
