Nationwide Hygiene Supplies values the impact that its business has on the environment and economy. Nationwide’s CEO, David Scholes said “We accept our responsibility for maintaining and improving sustainability within our group. Working closely with the world’s leading manufacturers we have driven and shared a number of innovative projects aimed at providing sustainable solutions”.

“As the cost and supply of fuel continues to increase we are constantly seeking ways to produce savings and provide solutions for a sustainable environment and a greener workplace. Simple ways such as supplying more paper towels per pack, and chemicals with a higher concentrate level, produce a win/win for costs and the environment. In making deliveries this way and linking them to our on-line ordering systems our customers and the environment both benefit. Our constant aim is to improve the efficiency of packing, handling and transporting our supplied products in order to reduce the impact we may have on the world’s resources.”

“As a group we are totally committed to a culture of sustainability and value our green credentials. In this regard several group companies have now achieved the ISO 14001 Environmental Standard, one of whom is the Cherwell Group based in the Midlands”. Jeremy Hodge, Managing Director of the Cherwell Group and Chairman of Nationwide said “As with all our group companies we are continually in the process of adapting our business management systems to ensure they have a positive impact on the environment. We always need to understand the consequences of different management approaches and demonstrate an ability to balance the needs of business and the environment.”
