Impact Report 2023-24
We hope you’re thriving in 2025, and those resolutions are still going strong. Have you been making the most of that gym membership? How long is your streak on Duolingo? Any of those intellectual books polished off yet?
But anyways, we’re getting sidetracked… What we want to talk about today is the past! Specifically, what happened at The Cheeky Panda in 2023 and 2024. We think it’s important that you, our customers, get an inside look into what we’ve been doing. We’re really proud of our impact and we want to show this off to you. If you follow this link, you can access the full report and can have a proper nose at all we’ve been up to!
Don’t have the time to read the full thing? We get it, we also need to get back to that pesky owl on Duolingo! So here is a quick summary for you:
1. We’ve made leaps and bounds in our Supply Chain, especially moving the manufacturing of the majority of our wipe range to the UK, to cut down on our carbon emissions from transportation!
2. In May of 2024 we achieved our first EcoVadis bronze medal, which is a sustainability certification for businesses. This result put us in the top 35% of all businesses on the platform!
3. We achieved a long-term goal of ours which was to measure our carbon footprint as a business through a Scope 1, 2 and 3 Report. This allows us to see where we’re doing well and where we need to improve.
4. With the help of two third-party consultancies, we have created two Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for our products. One measured our carbon footprint and compared to industry average UK manufactured recycled and virgin word pulp. This came out as a 45% and 28% saving respectively. The other was a broader LCA across 18 impact categories, measuring aspects such as global warming potential, land impact, water impact and non-renewable fossil fuels. It showed a 35-99% saving on all but two of the 18 indicators.
5. We have tried to do as much charity work as possible and one of our highlights was joining the WWF Wild Walk in Epping Forest, raising nearly £1000 for the charity!
6. We have big targets for the next two years including: a silver medal for EcoVadis, agreeing emission reduction targets, all wipes manufactured in the UK and much, much more!
We hope you enjoyed that wrap up, and here’s to another year of being cheeky!
