Juniper’s mission is to be the leading UK supplier of notebooks and other corporate promotional merchandise, with a highly regarded specialism in sustainable material options. We aim to create “meaningful merchandise” that promotes recycled and recyclable materials and be an industry leader in proving that corporate gifting can be part of the marketing mix in the future. Juniper wants to be part of the solution and not the problem.

Having been ISO 14001 compliant for Environmental Management for the past 11years  we have focused this year on measuring our carbon footprint and creating a carbon reduction strategy to lead us through the next 10 years and beyond to achieve a Net Zero Target.

We have started with a base year of 2022 and published our first Carbon Reduction Plan. We aim for Net Zero by 2050, with Carbon Neutrality for our Scope 1 & 2 emissions from our base year onwards. Carbon reduction is key and this will involve a structured programme of reduction throughout all of our activities. Only by involving all of our stake holders will we be able to achieve this.

We are proud to publish our first Carbon Reduction Plan and would like to thank Enistic for their support and help in gaining PPN 06/21 compliance.

We are delighted to have supported Cornish Seaweed Farming Innovation in Cornwall, farming seaweed for carbon removal and projects aligned to creating bio packaging and bio - alterniatve fuels.

Maintaining our overall wellness has become more significant within our lives today. Journals have proved to be a powerful tool to help individuals navigate their journey towards personal wellbeing.

Acknowledging your emotions and being open when writing in your journal allows you to be genuine and honest to self-reflection and personal growth. Setting time each day or week to dedicate writing in your Wellness Journal will motivate you.

The interior  96 pages, 192 sides of 80gsm white recycled paper, there is a personal details page followed by Wellness foreword written by Karin Blak. 

There are pages for Self Reflection as well as daily planner pages.

To the rear of teh book there are 16 sides of dot grid pages, 17 Plain Pages. The book is sewn bound for a perfect 180 degree lie flat finish.

Why not tip in a few pages to the front of the book with your companies Wellness Initiatives, we can add 1-4 sides of full colour informaion.

How will the Journal help with Wellbeing.

In our Wellness Journal we have 4 topic sections that encourage emotional wellness and balance between work and home life.

1.       A Balanced Life: The expectation that your personal life shouldn’t interfere with work. Employers accept the importance of your personal life, though it can be tricky to create a balance as life and work unintentionally begin to blend together.
2.       Managing emotions at work: Its normal to notice an emotion and not really know why it is here or where it came from. Emotions are constantly passing through, sometimes changing from one second to the next.
3.       Noticing Burnout: Everyone can at times experience stress. Positive stress can push you a little further than you have been pushed before. Negative stress will exhaust you and you will feel overwhelmed. This is a sign that you are being pushed too far, you have too much to manage.
4.       How to make work a pleasure: If work is a pleasure most of the time, then you will be happy most of the time. There are many ways towards making work pleasurable and uplifting.

A perfect gift for your employees to help them with their work life balance and stress levels.

Juniper Visit to see Eleather’s new Production Facility in Peterborough

Susanne and Andrew Langley, Joint MD’s of Juniper, recently visited ELeather and were shown around the new and very impressive Peterborough production facility, by ELeather Director Alexandra Bennett, to see first-hand the production of their new material ranges.

ELeather is an award-winning supplier of sustainable leather alternatives, producing material for clients ranging from airlines to major sports footwear brands, as well as Juniper, who partner with ELeather in the UK manufacture and supply of corporate merchandise.

Leather wastage and scrap, destined for landfill is repurposed but done so in an energy efficient, clean process, and results in a beautiful material, that has the look and feel of leather and crucially uses far less man-made resources than other leather alternatives. Combined with UK product manufacture this offers substantial sustainability credentials over imported plastic alternatives.

Juniper will be launching over 10 new products made from ELeather at the Merchandise World Exhibition in September and Andrew Langley commenting on his visit said,

“ELeather continues to lead the way in creating fantastic solutions for materials that we can make into quality long lasting, and useful merchandise. Brands want to know more and more about the providence of the materials used, their sustainable credentials, whilst providing gifting that they know will be cherished, and last. We at Juniper are delighted to continue our excellent relationship with ELeather.”
