Working with Carbon Neutral Britain, we calculated our total carbon emissions and are offsetting them by supporting a wide range of projects around the world. These focus on reforestation projects and others that help provide education, employment, clean water, and energy to communities, as well as having a positive impact on the local wildlife and ecology.
Watch this short video to explain.
We are also working hard in our work to make a positive difference to climate change by, for example:
- Having motion sensors in our office’s lighting to reduce unnecessary use
- Using recycled paper supporting the World Land Trust as well as FSC-supported paper for our printed promotional materials
- Having migrated many of our documents to digital and introduced secure electronic signing, and portals in work with clients as part of our efforts to become paperless
- Recycling our waste
- Offering a cycle-to-work scheme to our staff
- Phasing out paper cups in our office kitchens
- Removing plastic bottled water for meetings
Commenting on the development, Shipleys LLP Principal – Rob Wood – said, “We are delighted to have become a carbon neutral business and are grateful for the help and support Carbon Neutral Britain has given us. This is part of a longer journey for Shipleys, and we will continue to measure and reduce our emissions each year.”
