Earth Day 2025

16 April 2025

As we celebrate Earth Day 2025, we reflect on our responsibility to the planet and the steps we’re taking toward a greener future.

This year’s Earth Day’s official theme is OUR POWER, OUR PLANET, which calls on everyone around the world to come together in support of renewable energy and the goal of global clean electricity generation by 2030. Read on to hear more about what we’re doing to create change, as well as ideas on how you can get involved.

Our Sustainability Journey

Every day, we strive to make considered, Earth-friendly decisions. We ensure that every Tom Raffield design is kind to the planet through our sustainable design and crafting process. Alongside this, we work with like-minded partners who we support in their tireless efforts to restore our planet.

Product

Crafting heirlooms of the future, we’re committed to making superior quality pieces that are loved, used and stand the test of time. At every point in our process, we are driven by longevity, responsibility, and doing what’s right.

We tend not to follow and conform to current trends; we aim to create timeless pieces that our customers will cherish over the years. The necessity of producing quality, durable designs inform every new brief and has always been at the core of what we do.

Planet

We consistently make protecting the planet a key factor in every decision we make. From our planet-conscious design process and ecological steam bending technique to choosing sustainable materials and working with like-minded partners, we put the Earth's recovery at the forefront of our business.

People

We spend a lot of time shaping our business and our culture, creating a hard-working yet easy-going environment where individuals can fulfil their potential whilst helping the brand achieve its vision and goals.

We work hard to achieve great things in business while keeping our culture lively and inclusive. We believe that success comes from innovation, teamwork, and sticking to our core values. By creating a supportive environment, we help our team shine and deliver amazing results.

A Brighter Future

To make sure we can deliver our commitments to you, our customers, our team, our partners, and the planet, we remain focused on improving the way we do business.

We started this long before the word “sustainability” was fashionable. For us, this is a calling and not just a business. A calling that we put our heart and soul into - and have for over a decade. Throughout our company's history, we have been guided by our founding values, which compel us to put people and the planet first.

Every year we reflect and build on this pledge to do better.

What You Can Do

Change starts at home. So, this Earth Day you could reflect on the sustainable practices in your home. There are so many small changes you can make this weekend that will aid the planet's recovery - even within local, walking distance so you’re not driving your car will help.

Reuse what you own. Whilst it might be tempting to go out and buy brand new reusable, plastic free, options, you probably own plenty of options already! Cleaned out jars can be used as food storage, a plant propagator or even a coffee cup!

Make smarter choices at home. There are plenty of ways to integrate more energy-efficient smart home devices into your home to reduce electricity consumption. Consider a smart thermostat to optimise heating and cool systems and use smart plugs to take the hassle out of switching off unused electronics.

LED switch up. Using LED lightbulbs in our homes is a proven way to save on energy bills and, in turn, look after our planet. This Earth Day is a gret opportunity to remove, and properly recycle, old bulbs to replace them with planet, and money-saving, LED bulbs.

Make an impact through simple purchase decisions. Individuals have the power to make a stand by opting for sustainable choices. From cleaning products to homeware, there are many ways to shop sustainably, letting bigger corporations know what is important when it comes to investing in pieces.

Earth Day reminds us that every small action contributes to a larger impact. If you’re looking for ways to make a difference, check your local community notice boards or head to www.earthday.org to discover events close to you.
