Growing responsibly
Sustainable planting shaped around long-term performance, responsible sourcing and healthier environments.
At Exubia, sustainability shapes how we source, design, install and maintain every planting scheme we deliver. From peat-free planting and responsible sourcing to efficient maintenance and long-term plant health, our approach is built around creating environments that thrive while reducing unnecessary waste, transport and resource use. Because sustainable planting is not just about the products themselves. It is about designing systems that continue performing well over time.
Thoughtful by design
Every planting scheme should too.
We design around your space, considering light levels, humidity, traffic flow and how people interact with the environment day to day. Choosing the right plants for the right conditions helps installations remain healthier for longer, reducing unnecessary replacements and minimising long-term resource use.
Long-lasting planting schemes are almost always the most sustainable ones.
Cultivated responsibly
Our nursery is based in Oxfordshire, centrally located to support projects across the UK and beyond. Shorter transport routes help reduce emissions while ensuring plants arrive healthier and already adapted to British growing conditions. For specialist species, we work with trusted UK growers and partners who share our commitment to responsible cultivation. Every plant is potted in 100% peat-free compost, supported by rainwater harvesting, efficient irrigation systems, low-energy lighting and energy-conscious greenhouse management. Small operational decisions, applied consistently, create meaningful environmental impact over time.
Responsible installation and maintenance
Sustainability continues long after installation. Our teams work to reduce waste across every project through efficient logistics, recycling initiatives and responsible handling practices. Maintenance routes are carefully planned to reduce unnecessary travel and associated emissions wherever possible. Across London, our HortiCare technicians often travel by foot, public transport or bicycle rather than relying solely on vans. We also prioritise non-toxic treatments and sustainable maintenance practices that support both plant health and indoor environmental quality.
Supporting people and communities
Well-considered planting can contribute to calmer, more welcoming spaces that support wellbeing and improve the overall experience of a workplace, hospitality setting or shared environment. Beyond our projects, we regularly support charities and community initiatives including The Earth Trust and Style Acre, helping extend the value and lifespan of resources wherever possible through donation, reuse and repurposing.
Standards and commitments
Our sustainability approach is supported by recognised operational and environmental standards, including:
We continue to review and improve our operational practices across sourcing, logistics, maintenance and waste reduction as part of our long-term sustainability commitment.
Looking ahead
Sustainability is an ongoing process rather than a finished target. As Exubia continues to grow, we remain focused on finding practical ways to reduce environmental impact, improve operational efficiency and create planting schemes designed to last long into the future.
We are committed to achieving a 95% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2035. These commitments sit within ‘Growing Responsibly’, our wider sustainability strategy, which brings together our environmental objectives, social responsibilities and long-term ambitions as a business.
