Environmental responsibility is a core pillar of our CSR strategy. We believe that being a more sustainable business is important for our people, our community and our planet.
To highlight this commitment, and raise awareness and support across the firm, since 2018 we have held our flagship Green Month every spring. Green Month returns this May with a full programme of events, talks and initiatives to increase engagement in environmentally sustainable practices in the firm and in our community.
Green Month kicks off with guest speaker John Core, Culinary Nutrition Lead for Sodexo, delivering the first talk in our Sustainable Living series. John will discuss how our personal food choices can impact both our health and the environment, and guide us through various aspects of sustainable eating. The programme also includes a beach clean-up, lunchtime documentary series, the return of our popular sustainability-themed table quiz, and a full-day Plant Wellbeing Workshop.
Green Month is just one example of our commitment to sustainability and environmental awareness. We are committed to reducing energy consumption and to purchasing Green Energy only. We minimise the consumption of paper and promote the idea of a paperless office. We have also implemented an Environmental Management System which recently re-certified the ISO 14001 certification from the National Standards Authority of Ireland.
