Society & Sustainability
A sustainable future
We are committed to integrating practices at the heart of our operations that protect our planet as we continue to grow and accelerate our business. From product development to the very end of our customer’s journey, we continue to strive to find new ways to make our manufacturing and packaging more sustainable.
In partnership with Ecologi, we are drastically reducing our carbon footprint, offsetting our emissions and pushing forward to create a climate positive workforce. We are proud to collaborate with an organisation that not only helps makes a difference in the fight against climate change, but also provides employment, better infrastructure, and a positive social impact with the communities they work with across the globe.
Taking action against smoking
Each year, we undertake wide-reaching campaigns to help people stop smoking throughout April and October. Vaping is at least 95% less harmful than smoking and provides a pathway for thousands of smokers to quit every year. Through our social media channels and in store, we co-operate with national organisations to raise awareness of vaping as a healthier and cheaper alternative to smoking.
Our cigarette amnesty policy during Stoptober allows customers to surrender their cigarettes in exchange for a free vape kit and e-liquid. In the past year alone, we have reduced the prices across our 888 Vapour online store by 20% to support people in making the switch to vaping.
Community action
Over the years, we’ve built strong connections with local communities thanks to their ongoing support. In return, we are committed to doing everything in our power to actively support them in the causes that tie us together.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, we donated in excess of £10,000 worth of personal protective equipment and hand sanitiser in aid of local charities, schools, NHS Trusts, care homes, and local businesses to help prevent the spread of the virus.
We remain invested in improving the communities we work with as we continue to support local initiatives and create exciting, new opportunities for the brightest talents.
Our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals
The United Nations launched the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. The 17 SDGs are interwoven goals set out to combat poverty, inequality, global warming, justice, and irresponsible business practice.
TCF has targeted our sustainability programme to support a number of these goals as a priority as we work with our affiliates and partners to propel forward a global agenda of practical, results-driven changes for the better.
We are committed to producing tangible results while effectively furthering domestic and international sustainability objectives as we continue to grow our business.
