What does Responsibility mean to our members of staff?
Lucy Gormley, Finance
“Responsibility to me, means caring for both people and our environment.”
We cannot live in a world where everything is ‘throw away’; we must take a
responsible approach in how we get to live and work in the world, not just for
now but for future generations.
In the accounts team we will reduce the amount of paper we use when
printing, as well as making sure that we turn off equipment that is not in use
to reduce energy consumption.
It’s exciting to be part of team that embraces these changes and actively
encourages us to make positive steps towards a better world. At home, we
are using more eco-friendly household products and have installed a water
butt to help reduce water consumption.
Lisa Horler, Sales
“As an individual I try to keep informed and up to date. Ultimately, I am in a lucky
position to have the choice of the way I live my life and therefore, can change
what I do for the better.”
I am fortunate that the company has been proactive in its approach to sustainability
and have for many years had best practices in place, including avoiding the use of
landfill and saving energy by switching off lights- simple but effective measures!
At home, we aim to be conscious consumers by eating locally-produced foods and
having a more vegetarian diet. We are fanatical about recycling. For us it’s about
reusing and refilling whenever possible. We try to reduce our own personal impact
by not over-consuming or wasting in the first instance.
Adam Jenkins, Facilities
“We all have a moral obligation to be as sustainable as possible.”
I try to shop wisely to reduce food waste and limit the amount of packaging
that I bring in to my home and I try to recycle by using clothes banks and
bottle banks.
Over the last three years I have managed to cut my Household energy
consumption by four-fifths.
I believe it important to look after the environment to maintain
biodiversity- everything we need to live comes from the land.
