Hays FT has made a strong commitment not to lose sight of the environmental impact it has on the world around it. This is a policy that has been fully embraced and supported by its employees.
We are continuously evaulating our actions as a company, and the impact they have on the environment. Currently we have taken the following steps to minimise the impact we, as a business, have on the environment:
The business does not have any company cars, all employees are encouraged to use public transport wherever possible. The company is also supportive of cyclists, providing safe storage for bikes inside the office.
All air travel is questioned; unfortunately it is often unavoidable in a business with operations throughout the world. In order to reduce flights, conference calling is used wherever possible and we are implementing video conferencing to try and further reduce this.
Throughout the business most staff operate from open plan offices, this reduces the square footage of offices, reducing the energy needed. Our layouts are designed to make operations efficient and encourage strong team development.
Hays Plc are working with Future Forests on their E Shareholder project. A tree will be planted for every shareholder who signs up, via Shareview, to receive all their future communications from Hays electronically. This includes future annual reports and accounts and notices of meetings. This reduces the environmental impact and reduces the Company's costs.
We believe that these and other initiatives make good commercial sense as well as being environmentally sound. Hays FT's long term commitment to the environment means it continually evaluates new initiatives, aiming at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by a further 25% over the next 12 months.
