Making every drop count: Triton Shower’s data-driven product carbon footprint

Triton showers, the UK's leading electric shower manufacturer, partnered with ClimatePartner to deepen the sustainability of its product line, particularly their next generation ENVi® shower. This collaboration supports Triton’s ambitious goal to become net zero by 2035, aligning climate action with product innovation and operational transparency.

Founded in 1975 and based in Warwickshire, Triton has long positioned itself as "the UK’s shower company," known for reliable, energy-efficient solutions. Now, they’re working to mainstream electric showering while embedding climate impact data into every stage of product design.

The challenge: Turning sustainability into a design tool

Triton’s sustainability manager, Daniel Lintell, kickstarted a new phase of the company’s climate journey. With a design engineering background, Daniel understood that environmental impact is often locked in early during product development.

But Triton lacked the data to act: minimal recycled content records, non-centralised packaging specs, and minimal visibility into material weights. Of the roughly 70 million items purchased each year, only a very small fraction had usable data. Suppliers were often reluctant or unclear, and existing spend-based metrics weren’t giving the team the clarity they needed. 

The approach: Partnership, precision, and perseverance

Triton turned to ClimatePartner to help them build a solid product carbon footprint (PCF) during the development of the ENVi® shower. Designed to reduce water and energy use through real-time digital feedback, the shower required a footprint as precise as its features, made possible by integrating sustainability early in the design process.

ClimatePartner helped:

• Model emissions across different power and usage profiles
• Move from spend-based estimates to verified data
• Build repeatable tools for future product analytics

Triton used this information to develop a Power BI solution to integrate material emissions data directly with manufacturing and supply chain detail from their ERP system, creating real-time impact visibility for product teams.

The result? The ENVi® shower became the first ClimatePartner certified shower in the UK. A trusted label that gives consumers a clear signal: this is a low-impact product backed by credible climate data.

The outcomes: More than a label

1. Third-party certification

The  ClimatePartner certification provides independent validation of the ENVi® shower’s carbon footprint, reduction measures, and climate contributions.

2. Stronger internal engagement

Teams across the business, from design to supply chain, became more engaged in sustainability, even participating in a company-wide vote to select a climate project for contribution.

3. Open collaboration

Inspired by brands like Tony's Chocolonely, Triton is advocating for open sustainability practices, sharing their experiences at trade shows as well as with organisations in parallel industries.

4. Actionable climate goals

Net zero by 2035, with key milestones by 2028, and measurable, trackable emissions reductions already underway. Building on the ENVi® shower’s product carbon footprint insights, the team continually seeks sustainable improvements, such as increasing recycled content and exploring less harmful chrome processes.

The climate contribution: Projects with purpose

Triton supports a curated portfolio of verified climate projects, including: 

Each project aligns with Triton’s mission to reduce product-related environmental impact. For the ENVi, this includes funding the removal of ocean-bound plastic equivalent to approximately 50% of the plastic used in each unit.

What we learned together:

• Design is where sustainability starts
• Real-time data drives better decisions
• Certification builds trust and market confidence

What’s next for Triton Showers?

Triton continues to:

1. Refine product material choices before production
2. Reduce reliance on high impact finishes like chrome
3. Expand their internal analytics to guide design
4. Embed sustainability deeper into brand storytelling
5. Share their learnings to generate global improvements

Their journey proves that with the right tools and partnerships, climate action can move from intention to innovation, and from data to impact.
