The Leading Ethical Brand

Brother UK is proud to announce that The Ethical Company Organisation has awarded Brother Industries with the Ethical Company Accreditation status. We see such rewards as being testament to our customer focussed, ethically driven approach.

The Ethical Company Organisation measures a company’s ethical practices by looking at aspects such as energy consumption rates, TCO certification and environmental reporting.

As one of the leaders of ethical practices across our combined business sectors, Brother is continually working towards sustaining and developing its ethical business practices.

The results of the Ethical Company’s findings have been published in The Good Shopping Guide.

The guide aims to help consumers to make informed decisions about which consumer brands are best for the planet and is a comprehensive directory of companies who practice ethical trading.

Working in Harmony with the Environment

Brother has absolute commitment to minimise our environmental impact, providing the very best working conditions for our employees and making a positive contribution to the communities where we work.

We have much to be proud of – from achieving the rigorous ISO 14001:2004 standard for environmental management, to the world-leading green credentials of the products we sell. Brother has made significant investment in the development of environmentally friendly products that use less energy, last longer, and are easy to recycle. We have a long standing reputation as industry leaders in this field, and we were the first manufacturer to achieve the global TCO ’99 standard environmental accreditation on a printer, and we remain the only manufacturer of printers, faxes and all-in-ones to hold this standard.

In keeping with our industry-leading reputation, Brother has also consistently kept ahead of the requirements of key environmental legislation.
