OUR MISSION

We understand the importance of our output and how this can negatively or positively impact our environment. We also understand it’s difficult to make positive change overnight. We are chipping away at our business model and interrogating where sustainability progress can be made. We are working towards removing single-use plastic from our sites and are named supporters of the former Prince of Wales' Terra Carta - a charter that encourages sustainability in the private sector. 

 

Our Approach

325A0126 lowres v3

At Paint The Town Green, we take a people-first approach to the environment, firmly believing that community sits at the heart of climate consciousness.

We are proud to be a London Living Wage employer, offering training, development, and progression opportunities for both our decorators and our office team.

We are committed to advocating for decorator mental health and actively supporting a diverse group of decorators on site.

We also believe deeply in the transformative power of decorating. Through partnerships with charities such as Furnishing Futures, we bring the impact of beautiful, considered spaces to those who need them most.

We are a proud supporter of Furnishing Futures, a charity creating healing homes that bring hope and dignity to women and children who have escaped domestic abuse and been placed in empty social housing.

We support Furnishing Futures by donating labour for decorating, as well as a yearly financial donation to to help further their important work.

You can learn more about their work or get involved at www.furnishingfutures.org

PRODUCTS, TOOLS AND VANS

We don’t always have full control on sites as we are brought on as sub-contractors on bigger projects. However, where we can apply our sustainable strategies, we implement and use the following:

  • Biodegradable plastic sheeting
  • Biodegradable black bin liners
  • Recycled scuttle liners
  • Biodegradable kettle liners
  • Biodegradable cleaning wipes
  • Recyclable cardboard protection for hard floors
  • Environmentally-conscious paint products (whilst no product is without environmental impact, we always recommend using certain paints that are better for your home and for the planet; you can talk more to your Project Manager about what you would like to use)
  • We provide our painters with PTTG bags and water bottles to use instead of plastic bags and bottles
  • On heritage projects, we use a dustless sander which filters the air to the size of 0.1 microns and expels it more efficiently for the customer and our team
  • Our fleet of company cars and vans is entirely electric-powered

Charity Collaborations

On top of our charity partners, we have supported a range of local charities, including Earlsfield Foodbank and Age UK Wandsworth, where we donated 12.5lt of paint and labour (including Paint The Town Green founder Phil!) to spruce up an office reception room before Christmas.
