Can you compete in sustainability? This is a question we often ask ourselves. We’re competitive people and like to challenge ourselves and our surroundings, but we’ve sometimes had to check ourselves in this area. If we have to choose between responding to surveys and frameworks or reducing energy consumption right now, the choice is simple. We always choose the practical work that gives results. That’s why we’re rarely the best where metrics are concerned but we’re always at the top. Because we work hard.
Assessment and ranking
Here’s a selection of the metrics and assessments concerning us as a company:
