- Jangro achieves Planet Mark Certification across its entire network of 55 depots
- The group has committed to annually reduce its measured carbon emissions by at least 5%
- The Certification launches Jangro’s five-year plan, focusing on employee education and supply chain engagement
Bolton, April 2025 – Jangro has achieved Planet Mark Certification across its entire network of 55 depots, marking a significant milestone in its mission to lead sustainable practices in the sector. Becoming Planet Mark Certified means that Jangro has taken the best first step towards achieving net zero, at a critical time for our planet.
This achievement underscores Jangro’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact across its operations with clear, measurable targets.
Throughout 2025, Jangro will be working to understand its net zero baseline and reduce its Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 5% annually from its 2024 measured footprint.
This ambitious goal aligns with Planet Mark’s standards and reflects the collective effort of over 1,500 employees across the UK actively engaged in driving sustainability across the business.
The Certification complements Jangro’s broader sustainability strategy, which includes alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Other recent initiatives have also included the launch of the eco-conscious ntrl product range, a fully recyclable exhibition stand at the Cleaning Show, and the appointment of Daisy Hunter as sustainability and innovations manager at Jangro to drive environmental progress across the business.
Daisy Hunter commented: “At Jangro, we understand that reducing environmental impact is a shared responsibility. For many of our members, this is their first time measuring emissions, so establishing a baseline is not only expected, but also essential. It helps us understand where we are today and the steps we’re taking for the future.
“My focus now is on driving education and fostering collaboration across our network, and it’s incredibly encouraging to see every member already so engaged and committed. Sustainability is at the core of everything we do, and we’re proud to be taking this action together.”
The group-wide Certification builds on Jangro’s successful partnership with Planet Mark, first established in 2020, when the head office earned Planet Mark status.
As part of the Certification, now all members of Jangro’s network have access to Planet Mark’s tools including carbon data analysis, expert guidance and access to workshops to embed sustainable practices across every level of operations.
Steve Malkin, founder and CEO of Planet Mark, said: “I’m incredibly proud of our partnership with Jangro, as it highlights the power of collaboration in achieving sustainability. The company and team’s ongoing commitment to reducing carbon emissions is inspiring. Jangro’s efforts set a strong example, and we hope others are inspired to set and meet ambitious net zero targets in this critical decade.“
The Planet Mark Certification builds on Jangro’s recent sustainability progress, including an EcoVadis Gold Medal for its head office – placing it in the top 5% globally. Other initiatives include Nurture by Jangro, which encompasses a UK-wide tree planting scheme, and Circular by Jangro, which aims to reduce the amount of waste ending in landfills through the recycling of used materials into new products.
This collective effort lays the foundation for Jangro’s five-year sustainability strategy, prioritising three critical areas: education and engagement, operational transformation and supply chain leadership. Immediate next steps include expanding employee training programmes, initiating the transition to electric vehicles, and tightening supplier compliance standards to reduce Scope 3 emissions.
The cleaning and hygiene sector plays a critical role in the climate crisis. With pressure mounting across supply chains, transparency and action are essential. By embedding sustainability across its operations, Jangro is helping to raise the bar and drive long-term change across the industry.
