Our pledges Environment Our pledge: For a sustainable future, we pledge to champion environmental responsibility by integrating eco-friendly practices, minimising our carbon footprint, and fostering a culture of conservation within our organisation and the communities we serve. If you want to find out more about environmental sustainability, and why we should all be taking action, take a look at Al Pacino's video below. Here a few things the Energize team have implemented at our workplace so far: A Carbon Calculator to record the team's actions. An environmental awareness when planning our work. A noticeboard with ideas, suggestions and actions. Wooden trophies and medals for all our 2024 School Games events, they have replaced plastic versions. We often have walking meetings from our office in Shrewsbury. Our printing is minimal; however if you do receive something from us it will have been printed on recycled paper. Like many offices we do enjoy plentiful cups of tea and so we purchase bio-degradable tea-bags. We have a food waste caddy (perfect for the used tea-bags!) We have implemented an online purchasing day to order items from one provider, where possible, to minimise deliveries. Some of our colleagues are using the 'A World' app to monitor their own carbon footprint. Why don't you try it? https://aworld.org/ And we have 'climate awareness' days at the office on the first Tuesday of the month where we all try to be more conscious of our carbon footprint and integrate eco-friendly practices into our day. We consider how we travel to and from work, what we eat and drink, the packaging we use, being conscious of the items we purchase and more. Find out more about how you can take action...
