An environmental focus is ingrained in our values-based culture at Johnston Carmichael - it’s part of our DNA. It’s a constant topic of conversation amongst our leaders and our people. As a firm we are committed to minimising, where practicable the environmental impact of our business operations.
An environmental focus is ingrained in our values-based culture - it’s part of our DNA. It’s a constant topic of conversation amongst our leaders and our people. As a firm, we are committed to minimising where practicable the environmental impact of our business operations.
At Johnston Carmichael, we believe sustainability is the moral compass which sets out a broad set of principles to which we as an organisation aspire to and ESG is the reporting framework which brings that sustainable ambition to life.
We recognise our responsibility to address climate change, and we commit to becoming a net-zero carbon emitter by 2045, in line with the Scottish Government’s long-term target. Concern for the environment is an integral and fundamental part of this commitment. Our aim is to improve our business practices to reduce the impact on the environment from our operations.
Our impact on the environment is of paramount importance to us. We are currently reviewing our property estate and energy usage, and how we travel for business – to name just a few steps we’re taking to reduce our carbon footprint.
We encourage our people to work in an environmentally responsible manner; encouraging greater use of electronic and digital communication methods, going paperless, reducing the number of emails sent unnecessarily and reducing our CO2 emissions.
We continue to maximise the use of technology to operate a hybrid working model. This change has reduced commutes and significantly reduced business travel, in turn reducing our CO2 emissions.
As part of our Climate Action Plan, we have invested in new, more efficient heating systems in a number of our offices. We constantly challenge how our offices can be more environmentally friendly.
