Socially Responsible
For us being socially responsible means doing our bit for our local communities as well as our global community. We
may be a small company, but we’re a small company with a big heart.
Aiming to be Carbon Negative:
We work hard to limit our impact on the environment. For example:
-
Enabling and supporting remote working means that the longest daily commute within our team is a 6-mile round trip to our office in Cumbria.
-
All of our Alston office’s electricity comes from renewable sources and has done since 2007.
-
We’ve been only using recycled paper and packaging since 2008.
And recognised the impact we still have:
-
We offset our remaining carbon footprint. Since 2019, this has been achieved by supporting the work of C02 Balance.
From 2022, we’re going further:
-
We are planting one tree for every new member who joins Trainers’ Library®, supporting the work of Trees for Life.
Local Communities:
For the last four years, we’ve been collecting donations for the local food bank at our Alston office in the run up to Christmas.
Giving Back:
We’ve committed to donating 1% of our annual turnover to a nominated charity.
In 2021, the beneficiaries were the
Seashell Trust.
The charity benefiting from 1% of our turnover in 2022 is
Autism Unlimited.
