Sustainability & Social Responsibility
Here at Gatsby Autoworx, we believe the Future Matters and we have the courage to think differently. As a family run business, we are constantly searching for new ways to operate, and behave, in a way that is sustainable and beneficial to achieve a better future for all of us - and for our planet.
We maintain four directives for sustainability and social responsibility. Our commitments are: people, product, planet and packaging.
We are driven to create, implement and inspire long-lasting change, with the help of all those we interact with. We take a balanced approach, where we consider the needs of the environment alongside the needs of society. We hope to find equilibrium between resource consumption, economic development and environmental protection.
People
A driving force behind our success is the creativity and magic of our people. Our “family” is global; a vibrant tapestry that is diverse, talented, impassioned and spirited. Here to carry our objectives and your dreams forward to fulfilment. Our team are a huge part of our legacy and trailblazing goals as together we drive toward a creative and sustainable future.
At Gatsby Autoworx, we believe in empowering our workforce and we embrace individuality and celebrate our differences. We have created an environment of engagement and respect, with a culture of inclusivity. A place where those differences are valued - and individuals equipped and nurtured to succeed. Our desire and ultimate intent is to foster an environment of innovation, problem solving and ultimately job satisfaction.
Product
At Gatsby Autoworx we make and select the best possible products and work hard to ensure that they are socially and ethically sourced. That is a principle we honour across our entire business, from manufacturing to merchandise. We seek out the finest materials and products and strive for sustainable production and quality every step of the way.
From the beautiful beaches, mountains and historic battlefields of North Carolina to the Lakes of the North-West UK, we work with skilled craftspeople and champion artisanal methods of production, fitting to the era of our automotive creations. We celebrate and honour those skills.
Planet
Where viable, we adopt non-consumptive practices which aim to preserve resources for future generations and promote ecological balance.
We also support our pollinators and recognise the need to protect our bees, which play a crucial role in our ecosystem. This is why we have welcoming hives for our fuzzy, stripy friends to relax in after an industrious day of nectar gathering.
Packaging
Integrity is at the very core of our principles. We continually challenge ourselves to rethink areas of our business where our packaging could work more intelligently to reduce the impact on our environment. We encourage all our customers and principals to recycle wherever possible. We also champion re-use, reimagining and upcycling.
