Prince’s May Day Network 2009

May 1 2009

Attending today’s annual May Day Network event held at Billingsgate, I felt a great deal of satisfaction that our company is fast becoming a leading light in tackling environmental impact, and although small in scale the efforts we are all making really does make a difference to global climate change.

The whole company can be proud of our collective efforts to date, and my job of making a series of environmental pledges to the Prince’s May Day Network was relatively simple. In short out of the 6 main action points requested of the UK business community we are already taking action on the following:

• Measuring and reporting our carbon emissions publicly - we have done this since 2005!
• Managing our carbon emissions, developing action plans, and establishing reduction targets.
• Taking action to reduce our emissions - our recycling ‘Eco Warriors’ have played a significant role here already!

In addition I have pledged to take the following action by May 2010:

• Encourage our employees to further reduce their own carbon emissions both at work and home.
• Work closer with our suppliers to reduce carbon emissions.
• And to encourage our customers to take action similar to ours!

For me the whole day was brought into perspective by HRH Prince of Wales who warned that the May Day global distress call is still going unanswered and that the ‘doomsday clock’ really is ticking. Mixed with this message of urgency, his other message was to promote the business case for environmental action and community engagement, both aspects that we are pro-actively engaging and that are already providing real benefits in this time of recession.
