The company's sustainability mission and focus on change is at the heart of everything Priory Direct does and I encourage each of its customers to join in the environmental cause.

It encourages customers to do something good with their packaging and support rainforest conservation in a very simple way, namely with just one click.

The company's sustainable practice manifests itself in the fact that it only carries the best products from market-leading manufacturers to ensure that goods are packaged and shipped in the most protective, planet-friendly and efficient manner.

Priory Direct is also proud to use its business as a vehicle to do good, help communities and support charities. Through the company's organized charity rewards program, customers can donate the points they earn for each order to one of four charity partners; helping to contribute to meaningful causes that have a real impact on people and the environment.

From volunteering for local initiatives to creating a positive charitable footprint through its charity partners, it builds corporate social responsibility into its daily values, focusing on three main pillars - people, planet, profit.
