Polli is a low CO2 company which is socially responsible, reducing our environmental footprint wherever possible.
Our low CO2 rating is awarded by the Carbon Reduction Institute. We have achieved this rating by offsetting the carbon emissions produced by our energy consumption, flights, car travel and team commuting. Our general practice includes extensive studio based recycling; using and specifying recycled products where possible; using natural light or energy efficient globes; using natural airflow and cooling rather than air-conditioning; and walking or cycling locally where possible. As a team we share a communal lunch, cooked in house from local organic ingredients; this reduces packaging and waste, and keeps our team healthy and happy.
We manufacture our products locally which helps local industry and reduces carbon emissions in freight. It allows us to collect any offcuts from the production processes which we reuse where possible or donate to local schools and artists. This initiative means that our in-house production creates minimal landfill. We also have a collection policy on reusable Polli packaging by encouraging customers to retain packaging for return and reuse.
The Stainless Steel using in our jewellery is 75% recycled and our new Kohl Gold collection is nearly 100% recycled Brass.
Polli donates $1 from each piece of jewellery in the Pillow Pillow Pillow collaboration series to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to help with the protection of animals.
Our products are designed to last both in their durability of material and process and also in their independent design aesthetic. Good design should never be disposed of.
