sustainability
At Upstairs Yellow, we like to think we don’t just do things well, we do them right. That’s why sustainability isn’t just a tick-box, it’s fundamental to how we operate, grow, and deliver value.
From environmental protection to social equity and ethical governance, we take our responsibility seriously, doing whatever we can to shape better outcomes for all.
Our sustainability approach covers every part and everyone in our business and focuses on four key areas:
Energy and Emissions
The climate is changing and we must too. We recognise the urgent need to minimise our carbon footprint and improve energy efficiencies. We actively review our products, processes and partners as we move towards more sustainable operations that align with global climate goals.
Product Stewardship
From first design to final delivery, we take responsibility for the environmental and social impacts of our products across their lifecycle. We are committed to minimising waste, enhancing durability, and enabling circular solutions.
Human Rights, Ethical Sourcing, and Supply Chain Integrity
Even more important than how our products are made, is the welfare and treatment of who’s helping make them. We are dedicated to upholding human rights and ensuring that our supply chain and labor practices champion our values of fairness, transparency, and ethical conduct
Employee Well-being and Community Engagement
The lifeblood of our business is our people, which is why we prioritise a safe, inclusive, and respectful workplace, and are committed to supporting the health, growth, and engagement of our employees. Beyond our walls, we don’t just believe in, but invest in the well-being and vibrancy of our communities. Through active engagement, meaningful partnerships and local sponsorships, including volunteering, financial support and shared initiatives, we aim to build strong, resilient communities and create lasting positive impact.
