At Visit Tetbury, we are committed to protecting the environment while celebrating the beauty and heritage of our town. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do in our shop.

We prioritise sourcing products locally and responsibly, supporting independent makers and reducing transport emissions wherever possible. Many of our items are handmade, use recycled or natural materials, or are designed to be long-lasting alternatives to disposable goods.

In our day-to-day operations, we actively minimise waste by reducing packaging, reusing materials, and offering recyclable or compostable options to our customers. We encourage visitors to bring their own bags, and we carefully select suppliers who share our environmental values.

Energy efficiency is also a key focus. We aim to reduce our energy consumption through mindful practices in-store, and we continuously review our processes to find greener solutions.

Our team is trained to support these commitments through the Environmental Awareness v8 training programme. This ensures that all staff understand key environmental issues, sustainable retail practices, and how to actively reduce our impact through daily actions in the shop. From responsible product handling to waste reduction and energy use, our team is equipped to make environmentally conscious decisions.

Beyond the shop, we are proud to promote sustainable tourism in Tetbury—encouraging visitors to explore locally, support small businesses, and enjoy the area in a way that preserves it for future generations.

We believe that small, thoughtful choices can make a big difference, and we are always looking for new ways to improve our environmental impact.
