This imperative is also being driven by our retailers who have their own net-zero plans that they will expect all suppliers to sign up to ,” Kevin affirms .
Investing in people
On top of its sustainability goals , Airsprung Beds is also looking to invest in automation technologies in the future . “ Our focus for investment in the short-to-medium term is automating the end-of-line processes .
