Meet the team
Lysander Bickham
Co-Founder & CEO
Hello, my name is Lysander Bickham. I started the business at 16 years old (I'm now 18) and am excited to launch my first business. This business is the culmination of many years of work and I’m happy to say I’m now helping the environment more than ever before and you could be too...
For the past 3 years, I have been working in local shops in order to save up funds to start this business. I’m passionate about the environment and wanted to create a business that would give something back to our precious planet.
In 2018, I was nominated as a finalist for The Greenest Young Person in Hammersmith, as well as for The Hammersmith and Fulham Civic Honours Award – these were the result of research I had done into plants that help reduce pollution in the air and the introduction of Peace lilies, Snake plants and Elephant’s ears into my school.
Flora Beverley
Co-Founder
With her background in Biology, Flora Beverley approaches sustainability from a scientific point of view, avoiding hype, superfluous products and trends in favour of products that are simple and easy to use.
In a world with so much conflicting information, she uses her background to myth-bust and disseminate complex information, making it easy to understand and providing practical advice for the everyday consumer interested in sustainability but not sure where to start.
If you don't already follow her then we'd really recommend her Instagram account (@foodfitnessflora) for a load of wholesome content.
Our standard for guiding our product selection
Product lifecycle
We consider the social and environmental impacts of raw materials, finished products and packaging throughout the supply chain, from design to end-of-life. In particular, we consider the end of life journey for products and packaging, minimising waste and ensuring easy disassembly for recyclability or biodegradability. We seek to use materials created within circular and/or regenerative systems.
Community involvement
We enhance the economic development of local sustainable businesses by shopping small and shopping local. We provide education opportunities through our website for anyone and everyone.
Environmental stewardship
We commit to promoting positive change within the world by enhancing the quality of the natural environment, protecting biodiversity and ecosystems. We manage and reduce the environmental impact of business operations by responsible use of resources, such as energy, water, and chemicals. We also minimise negative outputs such as emissions and manage waste responsibly.
Low carbon
Leo's Box is committed to reducing the carbon impact of our operations and supply chain. Our products are sourced locally to minimise carbon emissions and offset where possible. All employees use green energy providers at home to further reduce impact.
People
We support gender equality and believe our suppliers’ workplaces should be free from bullying, harassment and discrimination. We believe in the importance of protecting people as well as the planet. If our suppliers are found to have broken any of these guidelines we will suspend their offering until we are able to commit a thorough review.
Transparency
We fully believe in open and honest discussions about how to improve our impact within our supply chain and beyond. We value transparency to maintain a clear trajectory towards a greener, more equitable future
