Lancashire accountancy firm Rotherham Taylor has put its greenest foot forward and achieved its Certificate of Environmental Accomplishment from its recycling partner in recognition of its forest-friendly policies.
Run by the Sefton-based Cardboard King, which recycles over 200 tonnes of waste material each month, the programme aims to support firms in boosting their recycling initiatives, reducing waste and achieving their ESG and sustainability goals.
“We would certainly urge other firms to get involved with this programme,” said Director at Rotherham Taylor, Rebecca Bradshaw.
“It’s been a great experience for our team and has provided a significant boost to the direction of our environmental initiatives.”
Rotherham Taylor seized the opportunity to advance its ‘trees for our fees’ initiative, with the aim of beating the national Net Zero target by 20 years to achieve this coveted status by 2030.
Focusing its environmental efforts, the firm’s arboreal ambitions saw it recycle 0.795 tons of material and save a number of trees from the chopping block – not for the first time!
As part of its ’23 for 23’ challenge, the team donated funds to Just One Tree, a not-for-profit organisation committed to planting trees and combating climate change around the world.
In 2024, not content to rest on its collective laurels, the team will also be planting one new tree for each client it onboards this year.
Rebecca Bradshaw continued: “We’re incredibly proud of this achievement and that we’ve been able to make a positive difference through our ESG commitments.
“Thank you to all our team for making a conscious effort to reduce waste and recycle where possible.
“Our Net Zero goal starts with small, impactful changes and this has certainly been one of them. Looking forward, we will continue to build on these activities and put sustainability first.”
