Here are just a few steps we have already taken at England & Company

• Over 50% of our correspondence is now sent via our secure document exchange portal - Openspace - saving paper, postage and resource. We are actively encouraging further uptake wherever possible.
• We use FSC registered, recycled paper where possible and encourage clients to go ‘paper-free’ in our communications.
• All printers have ‘pause’ buttons – so work is queued and only printed when we know its correct.
• All the toiletries of the building are ‘refillable’.
• All the lighting has been changed to energy efficient options.
• Our heating system was changed in 2023 and is now twice as energy efficient as its predecessor.
• We have chosen not to have AC – in what can be a hot building - as we’d rather live with the heat than take the environmental impact.
• We recycle any plastic used and ensure that we don’t coat any of our work binders cards and leaflets in unnecessary plastic.
• Our team opted to have a locally sourced, refilled fruit bowl in our kitchen, rather than a ‘tuck shop’ so we generate less plastic waste.
• Our kitchen is stocked with only organic milk as it has a lower environmental impact.
• Hybrid company car for our director, Cheryl.
