HOW IT WORKS

RISE is an initiative, powered by Cubiquity and Bigkid, which brings customers, colleagues and suppliers together to address our collective impact on the environment and the communities we operate in. To do this, RISE empowers its members to work together to create a positive change; be that through volunteering and fundraising, making more sustainable choices for designs, products and logistics, or sharing ideas about how we can do better together.

OUR RESPECT COMMITMENTS

We know that by listening and working together with our colleagues, customers, and partners we multiply the impact of our individual efforts. It is only by respecting each other’s views, circumstances and challenges we create the collaborative culture needed to drive positive change.

HOW WE’RE GETTING THERE

FAIR PAY

Making sure everyone is paid fairly is one way of showing we respect our colleagues commitment and experience. This is why Cubiquity are proud to be a Living Wage Employer.

OUR PAPER TRAIL

It’s important we know where our products are coming from which is why we work closely with our suppliers to ensure there is transparency across the supply chain, this helps us to make more sustainable choices for example working with the World Land Trust, the Woodland Trust & Carbon Footprint to use Carbon Balanced Paper.

TOWARDS NET ZERO

We have always sought to implement sustainable options and processes to help reduce our carbon emissions, we do this by working closely with suppliers and colleagues to constantly review all our solutions. And, where operational emissions cannot be eliminated, we offset them through the World Land Trust, the Woodland Trust and Carbon Footprint.

We are committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
