Highland Health Store is a local, ethical, environmentally friendly company that aims to have good green credentials. We do what we can to lower our own impact on the environment impact while helping our customers lower theirs.

We are constantly reviewing our policy and trying to find new ways to improve the way we work to ensure we are as “green” as possible.
