Having previously received the Queen’s Award for Innovation and Sustainable Development in 2013, International Trade and Innovation in 2018, Sustainable Development in 2019 and King’s Awards for Innovation and International Trade in 2023, this brings our total to 8 awards since 2013.
The King’s Award win solidifies our company as an industry pioneer in sustainability, having made significant strides to improve our production, CO2 emissions, and local biodiversity across the main beds business and within our component manufacturing division.
We have spearheaded responsible manufacturing through various initiatives and innovations since we began in 2009, including introducing a world-first pocket spring that’s recyclable due to its glue-less design, and made from wire that’s drawn in-house.
The news follows the release of our newly-launched Impact Report which outlines a host of sustainability-focused initiatives, including plans to become Nature Net Positive across all operations and decrease carbon emissions from direct operations by 95% within 10 years, with Spinks already introducing new manufacturing technology to reduce energy consumption by 60% as well as decreasing raw material usage.
The King’s Awards for Enterprise are designed to recognise and encourage outstanding achievements in four categories: Innovation, International Trade, Sustainable Development and Promoting Opportunity. Successful businesses can use the prestigious King’s Awards emblem for five years.
