As the world continues to live beyond our environmental means D7 Recruitment is taking that bold step forward by becoming a Sustainable company.
Hilary Benn, environmental secretary, has said that since 1990 the economy has grown by 40%, while emissions have fallen by 15%. We all have a part to play, and if we don’t – the harder and more expensive it will become. In the end, if we do nothing, it will cost us the earth.
So with no office and home based consultants, this company is protecting the environment as well as doing their daily job. With the average car putting around 3 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, D7 is eliminating travel to work. And with each person in an office using on average 2.5 pounds of paper each week, D7 are running a paperless office – even payslips are emailed and not printed and posted.
By working from home D7 is saving the planet while also giving better customer service and making their business more personal. By having consultants all over the UK, each consultant can specialise in the community that they live in, amongst the business that they use and the public they pass daily.
With 70% of people actively wanting to tackle the environmental problems, D7 is taking the plunge and playing its part.
Director, Angela De Souza says "nearly £5 billion is wasted on energy in the UK every year. This is enough to give every man, woman and child £84 a year. When you think of things like that, we all have to do our bit."
Angela then goes on to say "This is a really important area we are embracing, but we are making it fun too. We have even started running competitions amongst our staff as to who can run the most energy efficient home office."
