Carbon calculations

We've been doing some more work with Envision, to get a better idea of the impact our office has on the environment. We began working with them in 2007, when they helped us create an environmental management system and develop an environmental policy for our business.

The work we did with them was a great help to us when we set up Today and Tomorrow, an initiative aimed at helping companies to understand the benefits of putting the environment at the heart of their business. Visit www.todayandtomorrowonline.co.uk, to learn more about it.

The work we're currently doing with Envision is to asses our use of utilities and resources, to calculate our carbon footprint. So we're measuring our consumption of gas, electricity, water and paper in the office and we're also looking at our fuel usage from travel. When we've gathered the information we'll look at the various ways we can use it to add value to our business.
