EcoVadis use 4 core principles to score partners on Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement, and we’re extremely pleased that from the work already done, we have been awarded a gold rating for 2022, which puts us within the top 6% of companies in our industry, a fantastic achievement and a great start to our continual efforts to become a more sustainable business.

Becoming a sustainable business has been high on our agenda over the past couple of years, however, this award helps us to not only benchmark ourselves within the industry but outlines additional aspects of the business that we can add to our plan of action to further improve our environmental impact.

Q4 is now well and truly upon us and with it comes some exciting changes within the senior management team at Ripple. Introducing Daniel Wolfenden, the new Design & Marketing Director for Ripple.

I’ve picked the brains of the senior management team here at Ripple who have been working within the retail environment sector for decades to get a detailed explanation of the differences between POP and POS.

We’ve been a member of and accredited by Made in Britain for a number of years now and it’s had a really positive impact on our business. However, in reality, we’ve been producing British made products and solutions for nearly 40 years from our 25,000 sq ft converted weavers shed, steeped in British Heritage.

Back in April, we wrote about how due to the pandemic and the subsequent meteoric rise of online shopping, if retail is to exist, there needs to be a reason to visit.

Back in 2019 and after years of hard work and rigorous assessment we were awarded the prestigious Investors in People Gold Award. It’s a massive achievement for any business to be accredited with Investors in People, never mind the gold standard, but what exactly does that mean and how does it affect you, the customer?

Free Rapid Lateral Flow Tests have played a huge part in allowing the teams at Ripple to continue working efficiently. We’ve worked primarily in the retail sector, designing and creating interiors, displays and furniture, and of course, when the retail industry came to a standstill back in 2020 because of the pandemic, it affected us massively.

Amazon Fresh opened its first UK Store late last month in London, potentially marking the start of a significant shift in the UK retail experience as we know it!

Laura Ashley recently announced their return to the high-street with a brand-new partner Next. As their full range launches into 48 Next stores across the UK the Laura Ashley team has also introduced their flagship store in Shepherds Bush, London, which the team at Ripple are very proud to have played a part in bringing to life.
