Ahead of World Environment Day on 5th June Henri-Lloyd confirmed its commitment to this by announcing its new Company Environmental policy. Following the successful launch of their award winning Blue Eco Foul Weather Gear last year this next step furthers the company’s commitment to reducing their carbon footprint and to increase the awareness of environmental issues among employees, business partners and customers.

Paul Strzelecki Joint Chief Executive said “We said last year that Blue Eco was only the beginning. We have worked closely with The Green Blue (an innovative environmental awareness programme set up by the British Marine Federation and the Royal Yachting Association) to introduce this new policy statement that not only affects Henri-Lloyd but also our suppliers and distributors worldwide. In fact at Henri Lloyd World (our Bi-annual Global Distributor Conference), which takes place at Goodwood House next week we will be asking our distributors from as far afield as Australia, North America and throughout Europe to follow the same policy. We believe as a company and individuals we should be making an effort to conserve the world’s natural resources and hope that by following this policy we can reduce our carbon footprint at a time when we continue to expand our business.”
Henri-Lloyd are the Technical Clothing to TEAMORIGIN, Race for Change the British America’s Cup Team, who in 2009 announced their partnership with The Carbon Trust, an inspiring and unique collaboration between sport and the environment, to use the power of sport to raise awareness of environmental issues.
Henri Lloyd plan to introduce more Blue Eco products into the range following last years launch and see this as being a natural progression for the Henri-Lloyd company and their partners and customers around the world.
