Our sustainability commitment

Security that lasts

For people, the planet and performance.

Good security should never come at the expense of the environment or society.

Sustainability sits at the heart of everything we do. By becoming operationally carbon neutral in 2024 and supporting communities through the Matthew Good Foundation, your purchase helps build a safer, fairer future.

Durable products mean less waste and better value for everyone.

By sourcing padlocks designed to last and reinvesting in social and environmental progress, your purchase helps create measurable change.

Padlocks with purpose

Every order helps fund positive change.

Through Padlocks with Purpose, 10% of every profit supports the Matthew Good Foundation, a charity dedicated to funding grassroots projects that improve lives and protect the planet.

The Foundation was created in memory of Matthew Good, whose passion for helping others continues through hundreds of initiatives across the UK, from environmental restoration to community wellbeing and youth development.

When you choose Nothing But Padlocks, you become part of that story, helping good causes thrive with every secure purchase.
