Sustainability at M4C

We work hard to reduce our impact on the environment, improve our impact on the local community and provide the best possible service to our customers. We are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to do this, while working with the specific challenges a small business presents.

"Sustainability is at the very heart of our business, working with other businesses to develop, manage and promote their social and environmental activities. But this isn't just a business strategy; each individual at M4C is personally committed to sustainability and actively looks for ways to make a difference at work, at home and for our customers."

Ann Durrant, Managing Director, M4C

Highlights - 2010

We exceeded our 10:10 target and reduced our carbon footprint by 18.9%. This means we have cut our greenhouse gas emissions by almost 40% in two year.
69% of the journeys we made were by train
We formalised our commitment to community investment and have nominated two charities - Cre8 and IPASC. Cre8 works with hard-to-reach young people who are at risk of engaging in anti-social and criminal behaviour while IPSAC trains community health workers in the Democratic Republic of Congo. On a recent trip, Ann helped IPASC make this video to promote their work.
We have helped to launch and run Green Mondays in the North West
We now have biannual 1-to-1s
We are committed to reducing our carbon emissions and environmental impact further - so we have signed up to 10:10 and the Mayday Network
We have set targets for all our impact areas for 2011 - from planting bee friendly flowers and composting our tea bags to developing our knowledge of ISO26000 and conducting an eco-survey of the chapel.
We have carried out an assessment to identify our impact areas and actions to alleviate these impacts.
