The Commercial Group provides an array of business-critical services, from IT support to staff recruitment to office supplies. But perhaps nothing is more critical than their commitment to action on climate change.

They have not only encouraged employees, customers, and suppliers to take steps to reduce their carbon footprint, they have set an example by reducing or offsetting their own emissions. And the results they’ve seen aren’t limited to the environment. In fact, the Commercial Group attributes more than 60% of the growth they’ve experienced in recent years to their CarbonNeutral® status.

How The CarbonNeutral Company helped:

• We conducted a greenhouse gas assessment of Commercial’s business operations, including on-site energy, delivery fleet, business travel and waste
• We helped Commercial to set a net zero emissions target and achieve this by combining ambitious internal reductions with a portfolio of carbon offsets from high quality projects
• We helped Commercial to engage staff and clients by supporting their CarbonNeutral® launch programme and ongoing green days, competitions, seminars and promotions.

We have reduced our operational carbon emissions by over 50 per cent, while maintaining steady and organic growth year on year. In fact, as much as 60 per cent of our recent growth can be directly attributed to our position as a leader in corporate responsibility and our CarbonNeutral® status. Our CarbonNeutral® will be cost neutral, as well as increasing job applicant interest, raising staff motivation and yielding signifi cant and meaningful environmental improvements.
