Environmental Policy

At Betty Brown Wigs Limited, our mission is to create advocates for the planet while envisioning a future where both people and the environment can thrive. With a legacy dating back to 1998, we are committed to protecting the environment by continually improving our operational performance and empowering our staff to implement sustainable changes.

Our updated April 2026 Environmental Policy serves as our formal commitment to sustainable excellence. It outlines our rigorous standards for waste management, ethical sourcing, and localized operations to ensure we meet and exceed all relevant UK environmental legislation.

Key Policy Objectives:

• Waste Management & Recycling: We prioritize waste minimisation and ensure that materials like paper, cardboard, and electronics are recycled through designated professional facilities.
• Circular Wig Economy: We clean and sterilize returned wigs to donate them to charities, wig banks, and theatrical schools, while our onsite wig knotter reduces manufacturing transport costs through local repairs.
• Sustainable Logistics & Travel: We prioritize hiring local staff and encourage the use of York's public transport, cycling lanes, and car-sharing schemes to reduce pollution.
• Responsible Sourcing: We actively encourage our suppliers and contractors to provide environmentally preferable goods and services through strict specifications.
