B&Q Sustainable Initiatives

Freuds worked with B&Q to launch four sustainable initiatives to demonstrate their commitment to responsible business practices.

These included the introduction of two in-store EnergySaving Hubs, the sale of recycled plastic plant pots collected at their recycling stations, a pledge to source all wood and paper products responsibly by 2024, and a commitment to eliminate peat from their plant products by 2026.

B&Q launched over 100 plastic plant pot recycling stations in its stores nationwide in 2024. This initiative is a testament to B&Q’s dedication to environmental stewardship and its mission to empower customers to make greener choices effortlessly.

Recognising the importance of peatlands, B&Q has also been partnered with the Woodland Trust since 2022, the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity, to support the restoration, protection and creation of native woodland at Snaizeholme, North Yorkshire. The project also includes the restoration of 279 acres of upland peatbog.

According to B&Q’s latest 2024 research, more Brits are concerned about the decline of wildlife than seven years ago. More people now blame climate change, the use of pesticides and chemicals, and air pollution for the decline in wildlife than in 2017.
