Our Eco-Friendly Approach
We are committed to responding positively to the environmental crisis.
We can’t work well and thrive unless our planet does so too!
Tackling climate change and supporting biodiversity are intricately linked.
For example, tackling deforestation supports carbon trapping and provides homes for many species.
Here are the the Key Pillars of our Eco-Friendly Approach.
This forms part of our evolving NHS Net Zero Commitment.
-
Eco Friendly Travel
We work from home where possible
We walk, cycle, or use public transport where possible
-
Repair Reuse Recycle
We repair and reuse workplace equipment where possible
We use workplace equipment which is built to last, to reduce waste where possible
We recycle!
-
Paper Light
We strive to reduce paper use
We limit printing paper documents unless essential
We use electronic means to communicate where possible
-
Cleaner Energy
We use renewable, environmentally friendly energy providers where possible
Our current energy providers plant a native tree each year for us in association with the Woodland Trust
-
Use Less Energy
We insulate our main workspace with wool - an environmentally sustainable material
(after hemp, wool consumes less energy and has a smaller carbon footprint than most other fines as sheep can be raised on non-arable land and where trees cannot grow.*)
-
B CORP
We are on the journey towards becoming a B Corp; if you haven’t come across B Corp before, you can have a browse here.
-
We learn
We are committed to ongoing learning so we can continue to support our wonderful home planet
We aim to use reputable sources to learn from -
*Like this book - The Hidden Universe, Adventures in Biodiversity - which formed the backbone of our Eco-Friendly Approach.
It is written by an award winning professor of Biodiversity, who is the Director of Science at Kew Gardens , Alexandre Antionelli
