Our sustainability program: the bigger picture
Photobox is part of Storio group. Together, we are 6 brands across 13 countries, serving over 11 million customers, making us a leading personalised photo products company in Europe. We're a place where life’s stories are made, crafted and shared. A place where we create new ways to pass memories and stories between people and generations. And where, together, we make joy unforgettable.
‘the bigger picture’ focuses on sustainability and bringing moments to life while having a positive impact. As well as taking better care of our planet, we’re working to better support each other and amazing causes, so we can help make the future brighter, one moment at a time.
Planet
We’ve got one planet, so we need to take better care of it. We rely on materials to bring moments to life, so we’re working hard to strike a better balance and to be more sustainable.
There’s a long way to go, but here’s what we’ve ticked off our sustainability to-do list already:
- We balance our environmental impact by investing in nature based solutions projects. We partner with Treevive to support the MLR Forestal nature conservation project in Nicaragua, which focuses on reforestation, safeguarding wildlife habitats and fostering social equality within the local community. Find more information here.
- We responsibly source FSC® certified paper – spot the logo on photo books, to calendars, and cards.
- Our environmental management system for our Dutch, French and Spanish factories is ISO 14001 certified.
- Our Dutch and German factories are Zero Waste to Landfill certified and our Spanish factory is Zero Avoidable Waste to Landfill. Find more information here.
Society
People make moments amazing, so we want to brighten the world for everyone, both on our teams and in the wider world. We know the importance of making people happy, that’s why we need to give back to the causes closest to us, speak out in support of each other, and do our bit for local communities.
We're always looking to engage with fantastic organisations, and here's how our brands around Europe partner with a great one today:
- We're proud to support the Make-A-Wish® Foundation.
- We raise money to grant wishes, donate products, and volunteer to help make experiences magical.
People
On the best teams, everyone brings something different to the table. We need to celebrate our individuality and diversity to move forward healthily and happily. We're determined to create a more vibrant company culture where everyone feels represented and empowered. The world’s a wonderfully diverse place – our business has to reflect that in our teams and how our brand represents customers.
What’s next for sustainability at Photobox?
As well as making our products more sustainable, by 2030 we want to reduce carbon emission by 70% in our full value chain – so that’s every little step of what we do, from our factory to your front door. We’d say it’s a marathon, not a sprint, but 2030’s not a finish line. Once we get there, we’ll keep exploring ways we can bring moments to life, while looking after the world we live in.
