Sustainability

“Our approach has always been ‘to do the right thing’ therefore, sustainability must be at the heart of every decision we make.” 

Kevin Bunce, Managing Director 

We recognise that the products and services we supply have an impact on the environment and wellbeing of others and we have a responsibility to run our business in a sustainable way.  

As one of the UK’s leading privately owned interior design and manufacturing companies we recognise that in creating and manufacturing our products we use a large volume of resources and we are committed to ensuring that our social, environmental, and economic impact remains sustainable for the benefit of our community and the planet. 

Our kitchens and bedrooms have always been manufactured and installed to the highest quality using materials from the leading suppliers and we would expect that with the right care they will last over 15 years or more, in fact we have installed kitchens over 20 years ago that are still going strong. We are determined to deliver long term value for money for the company, our customers and Stakeholders whilst reducing our impact on the environment.  

With our own factory based in Essex our Urban Life product is only manufactured in one location of which we have total control, we do not store kitchens but produce kitchens as they are ordered, and we have always remained ahead of the curve in terms of introducing technology into our manufacturing process that reduces waste and increases efficiency. 

Sustainable Procurement 

As a business we have always been careful who we work with, selecting our suppliers based on quality and integrity. Our partners share our values, and we have confidence over where our raw materials come from and how they are made. 

Energy 

As a manufacturer we use a large amount of energy to create our product. Our goal is to minimise our impact on the environment by reducing this energy usage. 

Waste Management 

We aim to use fewer and more sustainable resources and reduce waste across all our sites and where possible enhance the positive contributions we can make. 

Responsible Business 

We are proud of the people that make Urban Myth the company it is, and we want to create a work environment that attracts and retains talent from all backgrounds.
