Transparency, not greenwashing
Clear, truthful environmental communication - no ambiguous claims and no "eco brand" positioning.
Lower-impact products and packaging
Replace non-sustainable ingredients where possible and improve packaging recyclability to reduce landfill waste.
Controls, evidence, and accountability
Maintain recognised systems, comply with law, and review objectives annually to reduce impact.
August Race commits to
These commitments guide how we develop products, operate our production, and work with partners.
- Represent our environmental and sustainability polices and activities in a clear, transparent and truthful way without ambiguous language or greenwashing (we will never claim to be an "eco brand").
- Wherever possible replace non sustainable ingredients from our products and replace with less impactful alternatives.
- Promote the recyclability of our packaging to help reduce plastic waste in landfill.
Operational commitments
Take all possible steps to avoid waste and emissions +
Where avoidance is not possible, we commit to manage waste through the most sustainable channels available.
Maintain ISO 14001-aligned environmental management +
Ensure that our production facility’s environmental management system continues to meet the internationally recognized BS EN ISO 14001 standard.
Comply with all applicable UK environmental laws +
Compliance is a minimum baseline. We aim to go beyond this where practicable through improved controls, training and documentation.
Support distributor compliance obligations +
Help our network of global distributors to maintain country specific compliance obligations (e.g. UFI coding) by providing the required product and regulatory documentation.
People, partners, and awareness
Sustainability only works when it is understood and supported across the business and supply chain.
- Ensure that all staff and trade partners are aware of our environmental policies.
- Communicate openly and transparently with interested parties towards the shared goal of environmental improvement.
Continuous improvement

Consider the effects that our operations may have on our local community and take reasonable steps to minimise adverse impacts.
Review operations annually and set objectives +
Review our operations annually and, where possible, set annual objectives to reduce our impact on the environment.
