Environmental standards have risen rapidly in recent years, not least in the field of art materials, where "greener" products have become available to take the place of older unsafe ones (like heavy metal based pigments). We comply with statutory requirements, and where possible exceed them, in providing and using products which are less damaging to the environment and providing information to help artists raise their environmental standards.

Our day to day practice is designed to make as much use of our resources as possible. From basic good housekeeping practices like reusing packaging materials and redundant paperwork, converting offcuts to useful stock and use of low energy lighting through to a conscious replacement of traditional solvent based materials in our picture framing department with waterbased environmentally friendly materials.
