Sustainability

How we treat people and planet matters.

It is no longer acceptable to carry on business as usual, when the planet is burning, our emissions keep rising and nature keeps being reduced. We need to consider how we can all play a role in protecting our planet and the people upon it.

With our mission to make sustainability effortless, C&TH aims to address how we can make more considered lifestyle choices through trusted editorial that is clear, passionate and inspiring.

C&TH is also committed to looking after its own staff and communities and to driving down its carbon emissions in line with UN targets.

There are three distinct areas where we will focus our approach to delivering on our mission:
