We’re furthering our sustainability commitment by becoming Planet Mark certified through measuring and reducing our carbon footprint.
Planet Mark is an internationally recognised sustainability certification for every type of organisation, including ours. A Planet Mark certification recognises continuous improvement, encourages action and builds an empowered community of like-minded individuals who make a world of difference.
In this crucial Decade of Action, we want to ensure that we are a force for good: positively transforming society and the planet by measuring our own impact on the environment.
Over the next year we will be working towards reducing our carbon emissions, and we want to share this journey with our community to encourage others to join us.
Through Planet Mark we are protecting an area of endangered rainforest thanks to Cool Earth; a charity working alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation. Our pledge through Cool Earth goes directly towards supporting the Asháninka community in Central Peru.
Through our commitment to Planet Mark we are also helping the Eden Project – an educational charity building connections with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work together towards a better future.
Each and every one of you plays an important role in our sustainability commitments, and Planet Mark will help to embed sustainability in our business culture so that we can make continual progress.
We look forward to sharing our sustainability achievements with the wider community. We encourage you to get in touch if you have any questions, suggestions or would like to get involved.
Willard has adopted a Beehive!
As part of our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, we have adopted a bee hive at SW Honey Farms in Chichester, just down the road from our workshops. The adoption will go towards one new colony of bees and increase the number of pollinators that help towards a well balanced eco system.
Solar Panel powered Workshop
We are now all set to have 68 solar panels installed on our workshop in Chichester over the summer. The 68 panels are expected to generate approximately 36Kw! We shall keep you posted with percentages of our energy usage once they are up and and running.
