POSITIVE CHANGE

BETTER BUSINESS SHOULD LEAVE MORE THAN PROFIT BEHIND.

We make packaging. But the choices behind that packaging — the materials we use, the businesses we work with and the way we run Simplelifeco — matter just as much to us as the products themselves.

We don’t believe sustainability is something you can stamp onto a product and call finished.

It’s an ongoing process of asking better questions, measuring what we’re doing and finding ways to improve.

Welcome to our Positive Change Hub.

THE IMPACT INDEX

WHAT WE DO. AND WHY IT MATTERS.

Positive change isn’t one initiative, one certification or one perfect material. It’s the combination of lots of decisions made across the whole business.

These are some of the ways we’re working to make those decisions better.

01 / B CORP

A BETTER WAY TO DO BUSINESS.

Business as a force for good.

In 2023, Simplelifeco became a Certified B Corporation.

For us, B Corp wasn’t the beginning of trying to run a better business. It gave us a framework to measure it, challenge it and keep improving it.

Certification looks beyond what a company sells and considers the wider impact of how it operates. That matters to us. Because selling more considered packaging means very little if we ignore the decisions being made behind the scenes.

CERTIFIED SINCE — 2023

02 / FSC

BETTER MATERIALS START AT THE SOURCE.

Paper with a paper trail.

Paper doesn't automatically equal sustainable.

Where it comes from matters.

That’s why FSC certification forms an important part of our approach to paper-based packaging. The Forest Stewardship Council helps support responsible forest management and provides traceability through certified supply chains.

Where our products carry FSC certification, it gives our customers something far more useful than a vague environmental claim: an independently recognised standard behind the material.

TRACEABLE. CERTIFIED. CONSIDERED.

03 / ECOLOGI

ACTION BEYOND OUR PRODUCTS.

Small actions become bigger ones together.

Some of the impact of running a business happens far beyond the products sitting on a shelf.

Our work with Ecologi gives us another way to support environmental projects beyond our own day-to-day operations.

It isn't a substitute for reducing impact within our business — and we don't treat it as one.

Instead, it sits alongside the work we're doing closer to home as another part of a much bigger picture.

ACTION BEYOND OUR OWN FOUR WALLS.

04 / HOW WE OPERATE

BETTER, BY DEFAULT.

The less glamorous stuff matters too.

Sustainability isn't only about choosing a different material.

It's also the hundreds of smaller decisions that happen while running a business: what we buy, who we buy it from, how products are packed, how much material we use, what becomes waste and what could be done differently next time.

We won't pretend every decision is perfect.

But we will keep questioning them.

Because improvement doesn't happen when a business decides it has finally become “sustainable”. It happens when it accepts that there is always something else it could do better.

BETTER DECISIONS, BUILT INTO THE BUSINESS.

SUSTAINABILITY ISN'T A PRODUCT FEATURE. IT'S HOW WE RUN THE BUSINESS.

We started Simplelifeco because we wanted to build a business capable of doing some good.

The products have changed since that first idea in 2019. The business has grown. What we know about sustainability has changed too.

And that's important.

There isn't a finish line where a business becomes perfectly sustainable. Materials develop. Evidence changes. Better options appear. Sometimes things we once thought were the best solution turn out not to be.

So our approach is deliberately simple:

Measure what we can.
Be transparent about what we can't measure.
Make better choices where they're available.
Keep looking for better ones where they're not.

THE RECEIPTS

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.

Anyone can say they're doing good.

We'd rather show you.

This is where we'll keep the evidence behind our commitments — certifications, standards, impact information and the documents that help hold Simplelifeco accountable.

AND WE'RE NOT FINISHED

BETTER IS A MOVING TARGET.

Positive change isn't a project we expect to complete.

As Simplelifeco grows, so does our responsibility to understand the impact we're having — and our ability to do something about it.

We'll keep learning. We'll keep measuring. We'll keep changing things.

Because better packaging is only part of building a better business.
