A practical approach to sustainability

Buying recycled products has become common practice, but that is just the beginning. You should be thinking about about how supply chains operate, how communities are supported and how businesses take responsibility for their wider impact.

Keep It Local promotes a sustainable way of buying by encouraging individuals and organisations to work with trusted, independent suppliers in their local area.

Choosing to buy local also assists with business CSR strategies whilst strengthening local economies and communities.

How buying local supports sustainability

Environmental
impact

Shorter supply chains help reduce transport emissions, packaging waste, and unnecessary complexity. Local suppliers offer greater transparency and accountability, supporting more responsible purchasing decisions.

Social
value

Independent suppliers are rooted in their communities. They support local jobs, skills, and long-term relationships built on trust and service, not scale alone.

Economic &
community resilience

Money spent locally stays local. Choosing independent suppliers helps strengthen regional economies, supports local initiatives, and builds more resilient supply networks.
