Sustainability
At Rako we are continually trying to improve our products and processes to be more sustainable. Here are some things we are currently doing to support this pledge.
Made in Britain
We are proud to manufacture our products in the UK, reducing the need to source and move components across the globe, ultimately reducing our carbon footprint.
Repair Service
Rako’s product repair service means that where possible, units can be economically repaired rather than replaced, extending the life of units and reducing wastage. New products are also backwards compatible which means they can be added to an existing installation without the need to replace previously installed Rako products.
Warranty
All Rako products come with a three year return to base warranty.
Packaging
We have removed polystyrene chips, bubble wrap and plastic tape from our consignment packaging and replaced them with recycled paper alternatives. We have also removed printed instruction manuals from our product boxes and replaced them with QR codes linking to digital manuals, reducing unnecessary use of paper.
Literature
Rako’s brochure is printed on recycled paper stock and is a carbon neural print product - more information on the carbon offset can be found via the QR code at the back of the brochure. The brochure is also wrapped in a compostable sleeve which can be disposed of with food waste or in a compost bin.
Better Stands Gold Rating
In 2025 we achieved a Better Stands Gold rating by ensuring that all components of our exhibition stand are either reused or recycled. Our dedication to sustainable stand design means that we successfully eliminate waste, setting a benchmark for sustainability in the events industry.
Renewable Energy
Solar panels are installed across our offices and manufacturing facility increasing our use of green, renewable energy.
Electric Vehicles and Charging
80% of our company leased vehicles are either fully electric or hybrid, decreasing our fuel consumption, with three PEV (plug-in electric vehicle) charge points available on-site.
Cycle-to-Work Scheme
Rako offers a Cycle-to-Work scheme which encourages and supports employees within cycling commuting distance not to use cars.
Octopus EV Scheme
Rako offers its employees the opportunity to lease an electric vehicle via Octopus EV salary sacrifice scheme, helping more motorists move to electric.
