The environment

We all have a responsibility to our environment and we are very aware of our individual impact, within both the business and local communities. Our extensive recycling programme allows us to recycle up to 90% of Head Office waste – from aluminium cans, vending cups and batteries to food waste from the Head Office restaurant. Our commitment to purchasing electricity from renewable sources continues, and throughout 2009 the Society has used 100% recycled copy paper in all offices.

The level of support we receive for our work in local areas is impressive, so a big thank you to our members and staff for their support and contribution. We know that donating our time as well as funds can make a real difference to local projects, and we're fully committed to continuing our community work.
