Savernake Knives is renowned for its uncompromising standards and precision manufacture, producing high-value stainless-steel products for professional users in hospitality and beyond. The Delphis Eco Heroes campaign celebrates professionals who rely on cleaning products where consistency, surface protection and safety are non-negotiable, and who demonstrate that sustainable formulations can outperform toxic chemical alternatives.

As part of the campaign, Laurie is spotlighting Delphis Eco’s Glass & Stainless-Steel Cleaner, used at the final stage of Savernake’s production process. Applied immediately before knives leave the workshop, the cleaner delivers a residue-free, polished finish without reliance on hazardous or toxic chemicals - a requirement fundamental to quality control, hygiene and safe handling.

High-performance cleaning where compromise isn’t an option

Knife-making is a technically demanding process involving specialist compounds, acetone and hardwood oils. Any residue, contamination or surface damage at the finishing stage is unacceptable, with implications for product safety, longevity and performance.

Laurie therefore requires a cleaner that performs reliably and repeatedly, while aligning fully with Savernake’s environmental standards. Delphis Eco’s Glass & Stainless-Steel Cleaner delivers professional-grade results using non-toxic, plant-based chemistry, demonstrating that safer formulations can meet the most exacting technical and operational requirements.

This emphasis on repeatable performance, surface care and user safety closely reflects the priorities of professional cleaning teams working across facilities management, hospitality, education and public-sector environments.

Recognising professionals leading sustainable practice

Delphis Eco Heroes are selected for genuine, real-world use rather than marketing claims. They represent individuals and organisations who show that sustainability, when properly engineered, enhances performance, compliance and safer working practices.

Launched in 2018, the Heroes campaign has recognised professionals across hospitality, contract catering and operational environments, including Michelle Thomas of room2 hometels, Sam Lawrence of BM Caterers, and chef and educator Cyrus Todiwala OBE DL. Laurie’s inclusion extends the campaign’s relevance into precision manufacturing, where cleaning standards must be exacting and fully controlled.

Mark Jankovich, CEO and Founder of Delphis Eco, said: “There’s a clear alignment between Delphis Eco and Savernake Knives. Laurie’s attention to detail, refusal to compromise and respect for materials reflect exactly how we develop our products.

“Our Heroes campaign celebrates professionals who depend on our solutions every day in demanding settings. Laurie exemplifies how high-performance cleaning and sustainability can work together without trade-offs.”

Built to professional standards

From its Wiltshire workshop in the Savernake Forest, Savernake Knives produces thousands of bespoke knives each year, each finished by hand and designed to meet exacting technical standards.

For Laurie, the cleaning products used in the finishing process must be as carefully specified as the materials themselves – a discipline shared by professional cleaning teams responsible for safeguarding high-value surfaces and maintaining consistent standards across complex environments.

Laurie Timpson commented: “At the final stage of production, our knives must leave us perfect and ready for immediate use. Delphis Eco’s Glass & Stainless-Steel Cleaner is the only product we’ve found that delivers that level of finish without compromise.

“It’s non-toxic, performs to the highest standard, aligns with our values, and gives us complete confidence in what we send out into the world.”

Trusted by professionals, proven in practice

Delphis Eco has supplied professional cleaning products for more than 17 years, supporting cleaning and facilities teams across hospitality, facilities management, education and the public sector, where performance, safety and compliance are essential.

Its expansion into the consumer market was driven by professional users seeking access to the same trusted products beyond the workplace.

“Eco-friendly cleaning products can still face scepticism around performance,” added Jankovich. “But when our products are relied upon daily in exacting professional environments, that reassurance carries real weight. If Delphis Eco works at this level, it will perform wherever it’s used.”

Every Delphis Eco Hero is showcased on the label of their nominated ‘Hero’ product - a visible mark of endorsement and shared commitment to performance and sustainability.

Jankovich concluded: “The real Heroes are the people who use eco-friendly products day in and day out. They are the professionals that show there is a better way and we at Delphis think they should be on the front of our bottles as real exemplars.”

This significant saving has been achieved simply by Perfect Hygiene supplying customers with Delphis Eco cleaning products instead of conventional chemical solutions – immediately cutting their embodied carbon and emissions footprints without disrupting performance or operations.

Delphis Eco has supplied Perfect Hygiene since 2022 with a full range of washroom and multi-surface cleaners, including:

• Washroom Cleaner
• Glass & Stainless Steel Cleaner
• Daily Use Toilet Cleaner
• Multi-Purpose Cleaner

(available in 700ml and 5L formats)

In 2024, Delphis Eco became the first cleaning-chemical manufacturer in the UK to launch personalised, auditable Carbon Reports for customers. This breakthrough enables organisations like Perfect Hygiene to understand precisely how their choice of cleaning chemicals reduces emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3.

As part of its commitment to continually reducing environmental impact, Delphis Eco has also partnered with Quiver in London to provide customers within a 7-mile radius of Vauxhall with zero-emission same-day and next-day delivery. Each delivery saves an average of 2.2kg of CO₂, further reducing customers’ operational footprint.

Mark Jankovich, CEO of Delphis Eco, said: “Perfect Hygiene’s commitment to meaningful, measurable action makes them exactly the kind of partner we love to work with. By switching to our washroom and multi-surface cleaning range, they’ve cut carbon without compromising on performance, demonstrating that sustainability and operational excellence go hand in hand. We’re incredibly proud of what they’ve achieved and excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible together.”

Michelle Gray, divisional manager at Perfect Hygiene, added: “We’re committed to helping our customers make greener choices that deliver real, measurable impact - and that’s why we work with the best. 

"Delphis Eco is the UK’s most sustainable cleaning chemical brand, with packaging that matches its values. Their products are at the heart of our sustainable range, and we’re delighted to have achieved a 79.46% carbon saving. We look forward to seeing these products become even more carbon-efficient over time.”

This third certification marks another milestone in Delphis Eco’s ongoing mission to combine commercial success with social and environmental impact. When the company first achieved B Corp status back in 2018, there were fewer than 200 certified businesses in the UK. Today, that number has surpassed 2,600, reflecting how the movement for purposeful, transparent, and accountable business has flourished, with Delphis Eco proudly at the forefront.

Founded by Mark Jankovich in 2007, Delphis Eco has long led the way in sustainable cleaning manufacturing, producing high-performance, plant-based products packaged in bottles made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. The business continues to champion a circular economy model, transparent carbon reporting, and UK-based manufacturing that minimises waste and emissions.

“Becoming a B Corp was always about holding ourselves accountable to the highest possible standards,” said Mark Jankovich, Founder and CSO of Delphis Eco.

“Re-certification is never a box-ticking exercise – it’s a deep reflection of who we are, how we work, and what we stand for. I’m incredibly proud of our team for constantly pushing forward, improving year after year, and proving that sustainability and profitability can thrive together.”

The B Corp assessment measures impact across five key areas - governance, workers, community, environment, and customers - and requires a minimum score of 80 to qualify. Delphis Eco’s latest certification further demonstrates its commitment to operating with transparency, accountability, and purpose beyond profit.

As one of the UK’s first cleaning brands to gain B Corp certification and a recipient of both the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development (2022) and a Royal Warrant for sustainable cleaning products, Delphis Eco remains a true pioneer for the industry, proving that responsible business is not just good ethics – it’s good business.

The collaboration brings together two purpose driven brands with a shared aim to reduce environmental impact and lead the way in climate-positive practices. This announcement comes ahead of World Environment Day (5 June 2025), reinforcing both companies’ dedication to meaningful action on climate change and plastic pollution.

Since launching its sustainability journey in 2020, BrewDog has made major strides in reducing its operational carbon footprint. Most recently, in 2024, the company was awarded the Positive Planet GOLD certification - a third-party accolade recognising its comprehensive emissions reduction strategy. This achievement follows similar certifications in 2022 and 2023, solidifying BrewDog’s reputation as a sustainability leader in the drinks industry.

In turn, Delphis Eco represents the best-in-class when it comes to environmentally friendly cleaning products and 100% recycled plastic packaging which it pioneered ahead of the industry and was first to bring to market in Europe. Its cleaning range of products is the most environmentally friendly, effective cleaning product range available to the professional cleaning sector. Products are plant-based, vegan, bio-degradable and non-harmful to users and the environment.

As part of the partnership, Delphis Eco will supply a full range of ecological cleaning products across BrewDog’s bars and kitchens throughout the UK, covering 60 locations. The kitchen cleaning products include the heavy-duty degreaser and foaming oven cleaner, which provide powerful, industrial-strength cleaning.

Beyond product supply, Delphis Eco has also completed a bespoke Carbon Analysis Report for BrewDog, estimating the carbon footprint of its cleaning operations against a global industry average. This report takes a holistic view, analysing everything from raw ingredients to labelling, logistics and end of life emissions. It is believed to be the first of its kind in the cleaning manufacturing industry, further demonstrating Delphis Eco’s leadership in transparent and measurable environmental action.

The Carbon Analysis Report predicts that BrewDog will save 207 tonnes of CO2e and 1.63 tonnes of virgin plastic by switching to Delphis Eco products.  

Will Brown, retail property director at BrewDog, commented: “At BrewDog, we’re committed to brewing and serving the highest quality beer, whilst protecting our planet. Partnering with Delphis Eco was a natural and easy decision for us. As the UK’s most sustainable cleaning brand, their use of 100% recycled packaging and planet-friendly products aligns perfectly with our values.

“With this year’s World Environment Day spotlighting plastic pollution, we’re proud of the steps we’ve taken; we have worked have to eliminate plastic wrap from our beer packs, cutting pallet weight by 50% and saving 22 tonnes of plastic annually.”

Mark Jankovich, CEO of Delphis Eco, added: “We’re delighted to be working with BrewDog, a brand that I’ve admired for years whose vision, mission and values are very aligned to ours.

“BrewDog, like Delphis Eco, has disrupted an entire industry by delivering exceptional products and caring deeply about its customers and the planet.  They don’t just talk about sustainability but live it through every aspect of its operation.  They are deeply committed to reducing their carbon emissions - whether from its own breweries and bars or from its global supply chain. We love partnering with businesses who are masters of their craft, have sustainability at their core and are driving for a more sustainable world.

This two-year, part-time programme is designed for working professionals and delivered by the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). The course brings together expert teaching from across the University – including the Departments of Engineering, Geography, Land Economy, and the Cambridge Judge Business School – to empower future leaders with the knowledge, tools, and networks to drive meaningful environmental and social change.

The Delphis Eco Scholarship is aimed at supporting emerging ‘game changers’ who demonstrate exceptional potential to shape sustainable corporate practices in their industries and beyond. Applicants undergo the University of Cambridge’s rigorous admissions process, followed by a targeted scholarship application and panel interview.

This year’s scholarship recipient is Varnika Chawla, a highly accomplished dual-qualified solicitor (India, England & Wales), based out of London. Varnika graduated from the National Law School of India University, Bangalore, earning double honours in Liberal Arts and Law (B.A., LL.B. Hons.) and multiple university gold medals.

With over eight years of specialised experience in the legal structuring of impact private equity capital, Varnika is currently leading the legal function as a Director at Climate Asset Management (CAM) – a leading natural capital asset manager with over US$1 billion in assets under management. A significant part of her work involves ensuring capital is directed towards regions most affected by climate change, translating complex regulatory requirements related to ESG, voluntary carbon markets, and international tax in the UK and EU into actionable solutions tailored for emerging markets and stakeholders. Her work has gained global recognition as she won the Legal500 ESG Rising Star Award (2025) and the Environmental Finance Rising Star Award (2024).

Commenting on the scholarship, Varnika Chawla said: “I am absolutely delighted to be awarded the Delphis Eco Scholarship to pursue the Master’s in Sustainability Leadership at the University of Cambridge as this scholarship is enabling me to pursue my vision to learn from experts and create sustainable investment solutions to address the climate crisis.

“To be supported by a pioneering company like Delphis Eco—whose values align so closely with my own—is incredibly meaningful. Their belief in my potential strengthens my resolve to drive impactful change.” 

Mark Jankovich, founder and managing director of Delphis Eco, added: “Since 2018, we’ve been proud to support the leaders of tomorrow who are taking bold steps to address the planet’s most pressing challenges. The Master’s in Sustainability Leadership is exactly the kind of programme we want to align ourselves with – rigorous, practical, and transformative.

Sustainability isn’t just a moral imperative – it’s a business opportunity. Organisations that embed sustainable practices often report lower costs, increased customer and employee loyalty, and stronger long-term growth. Small enterprises, in particular, face unique challenges in areas like procurement, supply chains and waste. But by working collaboratively, we can create scalable, impactful solutions and embed sustainability deeply into business culture.”

Delphis Eco’s ongoing investment in education underscores its unwavering mission: to inspire and support the leaders who will build a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

One of these key missed items for recycling are cosmetics and where nearly 40% of people said they don’t think to recycle bottles or may occasionally do.  

Food waste is another ‘missed capture’. It’s estimated that 70% of wasted food in the UK is wasted by families in their own homes. This is 4.5 million tonnes of food being thrown away every year that could have been eaten. 

The Delphis survey found that nearly half the population don’t have a home compost 

Another key aspect of this year’s Recycle Week theme is a focus on local authorities to share the central message - to galvanise the public into recycling more of the right things, more often. 

However, with different systems in play across regional authorities, 73% of responders said they strongly agree that all local authorities should be consistent in their recycling approach to make recycling more efficient, less confusing as a national standard.

When asked how confident people are that their local authority is correctly sorting their household recycling rather than sending it to landfill, nearly half of those asked were not confident that recycled waste was being processed effectively.

Delphis Eco, Founder and Managing Director, Mark Jankovich, said:

“WRAP’s Recycle Week is always a great opportunity to focus on how we can reduce, reuse and recycle more.

“And from our survey findings it’s clear that we still have a way to go. Key items not being recycled such as cosmetics and toiletries alongside food waste is a key area for improvement across homes and local authorities. 

“We can – and should - do more and Recycle Week is a good time for us all to stop and think about what we can do more off when it comes to recycling.”

Sustainability and environmental preservation are arguably the most pressing issues we collectively face. In response to this, multi-award-winning UK manufacturer and No. 1 eco-cleaning company, Delphis Eco continues to lead the way by funding a student bursary for a Master of Studies in Sustainability Leadership Scholarship at the University of Cambridge. 

The two-year bursary aims to support and develop the ‘Game Changing’ sustainability leaders of tomorrow who will drive environmental corporate behaviour where they work and beyond. This is the fifth scholarship Delphis Eco has funded, and they plan to support more.

The Master of Studies in Sustainability Leadership is a full Master’s degree, delivered part-time over two years for working professionals. The course is part of The Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership’s (CISL) mission to encourage the empowerment of both individuals and organisations in sustainability, giving them the tools and the confidence to tackle critical global challenges. 

The Scholarship is fully accredited by the University of Cambridge and is delivered as an interdisciplinary programme by CISL, drawing on an array of academic expertise including the Departments of Engineering, Geography, Land Economy and the Cambridge Judge Business School.

Applicants apply for this Master’s scholarship through the standard University of Cambridge University admissions process. This is then followed by a separate scholarship

application letter covering how applicants are aspiring to be future change agents for sustainability and why additional financial support is needed. Shortlisted scholarship applicants were invited for a panel interview.  

This year’s recipient of the scholarship is Shona Buchanan, who graduated from the University of Edinburgh with an undergraduate degree in Politics and International Relations in 2015. Shona is the Director of Global People & Culture Operations at Too Good To Go, a social impact company fighting food waste through a digital marketplace for surplus food. 

The app that lets people rescue unsold food which would have otherwise gone to waste from a variety of business partners, including supermarkets, shops, restaurants and manufacturers, among others. By partnering with Too Good To Go, businesses can sell their good food, which would have otherwise gone to waste, while consumers can save money by purchasing a 'Surprise Bag' or 'Magic Parcel' at a discounted price.

Delphis Eco, Founder and Managing Director, Mark Jankovich, said:

“Since 2018, the scholarship programme has supported the ‘game changing’ leaders of tomorrow who are committed to tackling global problems and who will drive more sustainable corporate behaviours, in their business ventures and beyond. We are honoured to be able to fund this scholarship as it’s exactly the type of Master’s programme we would want to be aligned to, for so many reasons.

Whilst it’s of major importance for humanity, sustainability also represents a real business opportunity. Many companies which have successfully embedded sustainable practice into their culture have reported reduced overheads, greater customer and staff loyalty, and increased sales. 

The particular challenges faced by small enterprises (such as, for instance, the sourcing and procurement of materials, supply chain and waste management) can be daunting for individual companies, but if addressed collectively solutions can be identified

and implemented far more easily and effectively. 

This collaborative approach leads to the deep-rooted and organic incorporation of sustainability into business culture.”

Shona Buchanan, said: 

“I am honoured and delighted to be awarded a scholarship from Delphis Eco to support me in the Master’s in Sustainability Leadership at the University of Cambridge as this scholarship is enabling me to live out something I have been looking to do for several years.  

“Within my role at Too Good To Go I lead on our B Corp status and many programmes leading from that, from Diversity, Equality and Inclusion to our carbon accounting and so to be supported by a B Corp company like Delphis Eco is a real honour and means a great deal to me.”

FusionFSM will help Delphis drive sales of its cleaning products in the foodservice and hospitality markets to build on the growing momentum and demand for eco-friendly cleaning solutions.

Not only will its new set of Hero stories go on the front of each product, but Delphis is taking it to the next level with a captivating and massive 48-sheet tube advert at Holborn Central Line, accompanied by an advert at Welwyn Garden City.  

The stunning eye-catching displays will take the spotlight for a two-week period, starting Monday, 17^th July 2023.

Delphis Eco has been a respected partner of cleaning products to the commercial market for the last 15 years.  The shift into the retail market was instigated by a continuous push by commercial customers to offer a range they could offer at home. The labels on its retail packaging already have quotes from commercial partners.  

And now - two years after its launch in Waitrose, Delphis Eco’s CEO and Founder, Mark Jankovich, explains the Heroes Campaign.

“We are super-proud to be launching our Heroes Campaign which is going mainstream – this is the first time we have gone into underground billboard advertising.  

“With such symbiosis between Delphis’ B2B and B2C ranges, the Hero Campaign is designed to champion Delphis’ commercial partners, the real heroes behind Delphis Eco.

“Indeed, it’s their hard work, commitment to sustainability and trust in Delphis’ products that places them as leaders in sustainability. The campaign also draws attention to the importance of using sustainable, non-toxic cleaning products and highlights how using eco-friendly cleaning products is a simple, yet effective solution people can adopt to become more sustainable.

The very first Delphis Hero launching the campaign is Michelle Thomas, New Openings Manager at room2, the leading hometel brand, and part of Lamington Group. 

As the inaugural ‘Hero’, Michelle demonstrates exceptional dedication and leadership in championing eco-conscious practices within the hospitality sector. 

Her visionary approach aligns perfectly with Delphis Eco's mission to promote sustainable cleaning solutions and sets a remarkable example as an advocate for sustainable living in the hospitality industry.

room2 seamlessly blends the comfort of a home with the convenience of a hotel, while also working tirelessly towards achieving full Net Zero status. 

Michelle commented:

“Sustainability has become much more of a focus for me personally, and for the business. It’s really important to have an eco-friendly cleaning product to make sure the facilities that we provide for our guests are safe. We want to make sure our team members are using products that are safe to use – a product that is good for people and the planet and gets the job done.

“My favourite product is the Multi-Purpose Cleaner – I can do everything with it. I can spray a badly stained shower, go back in a few minutes, wipe it and it’s perfect first time. It’s a great product.”

Commenting on the campaign, Mark Jankovich concludes:  

“Working with industry professionals, such as Michelle, who have first-hand experience of using our products can reassure retail customers of our credibility who are naturally sceptical about the effectiveness of eco-friendly cleaning products and most likely, their green credentials too.   

“If our professional partners love our products and trust our environmental accreditations, we are confident these products can be just as effective and loved in people’s homes.

“Michelle embodies the spirit of sustainability, leading the charge towards a greener future.

“We are looking forward to launching the Hero Campaign, continuing to work with our fantastic business partners and achieving our ambitious targets to rapidly grow our presence in the retail space”.

Delphis Eco products are available at Waitrose, Ocado, and Amazon.
