As part of our wider sustainability plans and our commitment to becoming Net Zero by 2030, we have joined Future Leap Network.
Future Leap is a green business network that gives organisations the space, knowledge, contacts and tools to help them achieve carbon neutrality.
As a South West firm, we are committed to supporting and protecting our region. Local people are integral to our achievements, and it is vital that we support their well-being and the sustainability of their business. Local businesses are integral to our success, and we want to ensure that those organisations and communities can continue to thrive. We recognise the need to limit our impact on the natural world and ensure there is a sustainable future to enable and benefit local communities.
To contribute positively to our wider stakeholders, communities and the environment, we have a dedicated sustainability community that actively considers our impact. Here are some of the things we are doing as part of our sustainability journey:
- We have an internal sustainability group who have commenced a number of great initiatives, starting with a 30 day sustainability challenge for our people which was subsequently taken up by ICAEW South West and recently ICAEW Scotland.
- We have introduced Teracycle schemes for the recycling of crisp packets, stationery, and confectionary in all offices which also gives back to local communities.
- We conduct regular litter picks in the areas surrounding of our offices and have expanded this in Weston-super-Mare to officially adopt a street.
- We have completed the first stage to becoming B Corp Certified, having successfully submitted and passed the B Impact Assessment.
- More recently we have commenced the payment of cycle rates for our people who wish to travel to local events more sustainably.
