Sustainability
All David Harber artworks have been inspired by naturally occurring forms in nature. The environment is at the centre of everything we do. We believe it’s incredibly important that we take steps to preserve it, and see it as our responsibility to protect the beauty around us that inspires each and every sculpture we make on-site at our workshop in Oxfordshire.
A better tomorrow
As a company, we have made the decision to strive to become carbon positive and have set a timeframe of five years to achieve this. With this in mind, we have undertaken an environmental audit to calculate the carbon impact of running the company in terms of employees, facilities and operational processes.
In October 2024, we completed the carbon impact of each design in our Classic collection, and we are now using this data to establish an estimated carbon impact of all our bespoke projects. This will enable us to put a figure on our annual carbon output, thereby supporting determine our efforts to become carbon positive.
Our commitment
Since 2024, we’ve:
1. Introduced a carbon offsetting fee when clients opt for shipping via air freight, rather than sea freight.
2. We’ve installed 60 m2 of solar panels for our workshop, and two electric vehicle charging points.
3. Planted our landscaped gardens at David Harber HQ with trees and wildflower areas to support wildlife and pollinators.
4. Switched to an electricity supplier that provides 100% renewable energy for power not generated by ourselves.
5. We have committed to using 100% recycled material for our marketing material.
Over the coming year we will keep all David Harber clients updated with ongoing developments in our environmental programme. We welcome any suggestions from our network on how we can further play our part.
