Anne Corder Recruitment scores green again

We’ve only gone and scored ourselves another environmental accreditation – and this one at the highest level possible.

After undergoing one of the toughest audits I’ve ever seen we achieved a ‘green’ level award from Investors in the Environment – and that’s even better than a bronze and silver in this instance!

When I say tough I mean tough – the auditor actually went through our bins and noted that some of the lids hadn’t been removed from bottles in the recycling waste! That makes our achievement even sweeter – it certainly wasn’t an easy win!

The scheme is led by Peterborough Environment City Trust (PECT) and has been designed to help businesses in and around the city save money and reduce their impact on the environment.

We had to meet a host of criteria – demonstrate an improvement in resource efficiency with utility bills to prove it, have a workable recycling system, adopt a green travel plan, take a carbon footprint test….the list was extensive.

Even so, the auditor told us we had exceeded the requirements in some areas.
So do forgive us if we allow ourselves a little pat on the back.

* We’re still keen to work with other businesses to help demonstrate how adopting even a strand of our paperless working strategy could improve your eco-credentials and efficiency. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss this area of our work.
