Background

Responsible business objectives

• Measuring emissions;

• Raising the awareness of staff about climate change and empowering them to take action;

• Working collaboratively with suppliers to minimise the end to end carbon footprint along the supply chain.

How they do it

Consilience are now a Carbon Neutral company who encourage cycling and use of public transport for their staff and estimate that approximately 70% of trips to and from work (apart from during Winter) are by these means. They have also introduced a thorough recycling scheme for office and kitchen supplies. Unfortunately their local council doesn't collect this recycling so Consilience have to arrange for it's delivery to supermarket recycling bins. They are now also using green, renewable electricity and are promoting greener printing options and printers who have environmental management standards to their clients.

What impact it has

An estimated carbon reduction figure of 0.5.
