CSR
We acknowledge that we work in a sector that has an impact on our environment so we’re committed to helping the companies we work with meet their own corporate social responsibility targets as well as achieving our own.
We also recognise that offset without reduction is not a sustainable approach to take, so our focus is to measure the impact of events and then to work with our clients and partners to minimise such impact, where possible. This is achieved in working in conjunction with the Carbon Consultancy and the Green Globe Index, which provides a common platform to measure, index and demonstrate sustainability, helping us to identify committed suppliers.
However, from a pure offsetting approach, working closely with the Carbon Consultancy, we can accurately calculate GHG emission levels for individual trips/events. The number of offset programmes available is vast and we pro-actively advise and support our clients in the decision making process and utilise a searchable grid developed by the Carbon Consultancy to identify suitable programmes (www.carbonoffsetguide.co.uk).
Whether providing the opportunity for clients to offset carbon emissions, using ethical suppliers or working with local charities, we remain passionate about being a responsible company and follow internal processes and procedures to ensure we can make a difference wherever we can.
This includes:
- Recycling of end-of-life machines, packaging and waste
- Working with manufacturers who operate efficient and environmentally responsible manufacturing facilities
- Screening potential new suppliers and partners to ensure they observe sound environmental policies and adhere to an ethical code of practice
We also recognise the impact that road travel has on our environment by actively promoting flexible work opportunities for our employees and running virtual meetings with client and suppliers whenever this is practical.
