We are making the move towards becoming a “green” practice in a bid for complete self-sustainability. This has always been an important issue for the firm and we wish to play our part in creating a better future.

As part of achieving this goal, we have implemented the following:

• New solar panels have been installed to fully cover our heating & energy needs
• Switched to a “green” energy provider for any excess energy needed
• Planting “butterfly & bee friendly zones” & trees in and around our new parking areas

• Battery recycling point
• All food waste is collected and composted
• Mixed recycling bins are prominent in the office kitchen

• We are a paperless office, thereby avoiding unnecessary printing
• All our post is scanned, uploaded and shredded
• We use the shredded paper and HMRC letters as bedding in our duck and chicken coops
• Presentations to staff to educate on best practice

Future developments

• Provision of staff electric car charging points
• VCS beehives and honey production
• Conversion of surrounding fields into wildflower meadows
