Our agenda.

We've launched 'Take Action Now' with the sole aim of reducing our carbon emissions and our carbon footprint.

As an organisation, we understand just how important our impact on the environment is, and we've been working to reduce this wherever possible. This project brings several departments together to work as an organisation to dramatically reduce our carbon footprint to become carbon neutral. Not only will this project result in a more sustainable company that can operate while being carbon neutral, but it'll set an example to our employees, customers, and partners as to what can be achieved and highlight the importance of improving sustainability.

Our reduction targets.

Our charity work.

We offer every employee a day to make a difference with their local community or to raise money for our chosen charity.

Past events have included volunteering for Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. Groups of people spent a day helping at a restoration project for Fenay Beck near Huddersfield.  Their efforts will help improve the water quality, help stabilise the bank, filter sediment and create a habitat for invertebrates, fish and river fly.
