How Mango Does Sustainability: Our Environmental Policies in Action

At Mango, sustainability is more than a trend, it’s a responsibility. As an ISO 14001 certified organisation, our environmental policies guide the way we work, helping us make decisions that are good for business and even better for the planet.

Whether it’s the small everyday choices or the big strategic goals, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and leading with purpose. It’s something our whole team gets behind, because protecting the environment isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s essential to our future.

What Our Environmental Policies Mean for Us

Our environmental policies are the foundation of our sustainability efforts. They outline our commitment to:

• Meeting all legal and environmental regulations
• Preventing pollution and reducing waste
• Using natural resources responsibly, through energy saving, water efficiency, and choosing recycled materials
• Minimising the environmental impact of our products, services, and activities across their entire life cycle
• Continuously improving through audits, staff engagement, and updated practices

These aren’t just ideals, we have embedded these principles into our day-to-day operations to ensure they have a real, lasting impact.

Greener Office, Smarter Practices

Creating a more sustainable workplace starts with simple, actionable changes.

We have adopted a paper-lite approach with a focus on digital tools and reduced printing. Our teams are encouraged to “only print if necessary” and use recycled paper where printing is essential. We have placed recycling bins throughout our offices and regularly update staff on how to dispose of waste responsibly.

Energy efficiency is another key focus. From switching off lights and equipment at the end of the day to investing in energy-saving technologies, we aim to reduce consumption wherever possible. This includes the use of smart lighting systems, solar panels, and a switch to greener electricity suppliers to power our operations more sustainably. We have also embraced branded reusables—like our much-loved orange Mango mugs—which help cut down on single-use plastics while showing off our team spirit.

Carbon Footprint and Climate Focus

This year, our management team is paying special attention to our carbon footprint and broader impact on climate change. Through regular M-Chat updates and a company-wide focus outlined in our Sustainability Policy, we are measuring emissions, identifying hotspots, and finding smarter ways to reduce them. We’ve also partnered with a specialist consultancy to create a detailed Carbon Reduction Plan, and we’re proud to have set an ambitious goal to be net zero by 2040.

Whether that’s through more efficient travel, better supply chain choices, or greener packaging, we’re determined to do our part in the fight against climate change.

Teamwork Makes the Green Work

None of our progress would be possible without the involvement of our team. Our environmental policies aren’t just something we file away—they’re shared, discussed, and lived across the business.

We actively encourage our staff to take part in our sustainability journey, from providing feedback and suggestions to getting involved in eco-friendly initiatives. Last Christmas, for example, we supported Storehouse North Down with donations of food and gifts—helping our local community and reducing waste at the same time.

We’ve also planted 250 trees, one for every member of staff, through Treeapp, a brilliant way to give back to the environment and show our commitment in a tangible, lasting way.

Certified to Do Better

We take our responsibilities seriously, which is why we’ve worked hard to align our environmental policies with ISO 14001, the internationally recognised standard for Environmental Management Systems. This helps us track performance, improve continually, and demonstrate our green credentials to our clients, partners, and community.

Looking Ahead

Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. That’s why we review our environmental policies every year, setting new objectives and adapting to changing needs and challenges.

We’re proud of the steps we have taken—but we know there’s always more to do. With every decision, from the office to the boardroom, we’re choosing a cleaner, safer, more sustainable path forward.
