Ethical Practice
At Fundamental, we strive to minimize the environmental impact of our supply chain wherever possible. Our journals are crafted in the UK and our materials are sourced with sustainability in mind.
Sustainable Transportation
We use road haulage for the delivery of our materials to reduce fuel consumption and pollution. By carefully planning our factory orders, we minimize the number of deliveries, thereby reducing transportation emissions while maintaining a healthy stock inventory.
Expert Craftsmanship
Our products are made by expert artisans in family-run companies, known for their exquisite craftsmanship and high-quality standards. These companies employ local workers and adhere to all EU employment laws.
Responsible Sourcing
To ensure our products truly reflect our commitment to sustainability, all materials are sourced from reputable suppliers. We use FSC-certified paper and innovative materials like BioLight, which consists of 44% bio-based content from post-consumer recycled materials. Our suppliers use sustainable, chrome-free materials, and are enrolled in SEDEX, a leading ethical trade service provider that audits our factories annually to ensure high standards and ethical practices are maintained.
Premium and Durable Materials
We choose premium materials for our journals because they are durable, elegant, and designed to last. We aim to offer products that provide both practical benefits and timeless style, ensuring they remain current season after season.
Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Our commitment to quality and sustainability extends to every aspect of our production process, from the meticulous craftsmanship to the careful selection of materials. We hope our customers choose Fundamental for its superior quality, ethical production, and timeless design.
