Helping charities to cut costs and carbon

While many charities have top line environmental policies in place, very few who deliver services outside the core field of sustainability have managed to turn these policies into on-going employee action.

As financial pressure on the charity sector builds, we believe environmental action must be seen as an opportunity rather than a chore.  As well as meeting legal obligations, it is increasingly important for charity reputation, employee motivation, corporate partner selection and financial management.

Did you know that a 10% reduction on average paper use of 35 people can save £200 per year plus additional savings on toner and electricity?  Or that switching 25 journeys a month to and from meetings from public transport to bicycle in London can save £100 a month – rising to £500 a month if taxis are taken?

The key to turning policies into practice is a dynamic and inspiring employee engagement campaign.  To find out how to create one, contact Amanda Powell-Smith on 020 7403 2230, amanda@forster.co.uk.
