Environmental Policy

Established in 1805, Truefitt & Hill (Gentlemen’s Grooming) Limited owns and operates its flagship barbershop at St. James’s Street in London, which has officially been named the oldest barbershop in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records.

We provide luxury gentlemen’s grooming services from our barbershop and produce and sell a wide range of luxury gentlemen’s grooming products and accessories. Our merchandise enjoys worldwide popularity and reputation.

Our vision is to ensure that we are able to continue to provide the finest gentlemen’s grooming products and services to our discerning clientele for centuries to come, while striving to protect our heritage and tradition for future generations.

To achieve our vision, we recognise that we have an obligation to act vigorously to protect the environment, both locally and globally, and to take seriously our responsibility as an organisation to monitor and minimise the short and long term impact our business has on the world around us.
