It's critical that we all accept the climate emergency and do everything we can to reach carbon neutral or carbon negative status fast. Here's what Brooks Ecological is doing.
Renewable Energy
We have fitted solar panels to our office roof which now makes all our office electricity consumption effectively carbon neutral . We only use renewable power suppliers.
Fleet
We have three full Electric Vehicles in our fleet and will not buy any new diesel or petrol vehicles.
The internal Combustion Engine belongs in a museum.
Cycling
We look to employ staff who live close to work and encourage cycling by providing covered locked storage and a shower and lockers in the office.
Carbon offsetting
We are setting up our own carbon offsetting fund and working with our sister company Ecological Estates will be funding and delivering offsetting projects including tree planting and funding solar PV installations.
Suppliers
We work hard to source sustainable and recyclable products from local suppliers.
Public transport
Our main office is located within 100 m of a train station. This is no accident. We encourage all staff to use public transport to travel to work and while at work.
