Committed to Reducing Carbon

Building Partnerships is committed to minimising the carbon footprint from its business. To assist with this we have developed a carbon impact monitor which we have refined over a number of years to include purchasing, waste, transport and recycling. Issues that have been improved in that time include:

The weekly waste sent to landfill.

Purchasing 100% of our needs as green energy from sustainable sources
Investigating projects that will generate energy at least to cover our business use
Business travel by rail, where practical, so that a single person car use for business (including travel to work) is no more than 40% of distance travelled
Waste minimisation so that materials are recycled wherever possible. We have set up systems to achieve an annual waste to landfill of no more than 5% by weight compared to the UK where around 54% of all waste is sent to landfill. We monitor our waste weekly.
