ESG POLICY May 2025

BEING GOOD CORPORATE CITIZENS IS IN OUR DNA TradeChoice Carpet & Flooring is essentially a people business, where our employees forge strong relationships with suppliers, customers and colleagues. We’re trusted partners. Being a people business also extends to the creation of an excellent working environment for all. We are committed to this principle and have fair, safe and inclusive working practices throughout our operations. And finally, as a people business, it’s important to engage in supporting the wider community. We continue to champion both national and local charities and promote their causes and are always looking at new ideas and ways of taking it a step further. This is how we will continue to do the right thing:
