Macdonald & Company

The leading professional recruitment consultancy for the property industry and built environment, has announced that it will become carbon neutral. Macdonald & Company have asked Carbon Forestry to assess their carbon emissions, and to manage a programme of carbon offsetting through investment in British woodlands. The company is seeking to offset all carbon emissions relating to its operations, travel and energy costs.

Macdonald & Company is the principal subsidiary of AIM listed Prime People plc. The group takes corporate and social responsibility very seriously, and the decision to make Macdonald & Company carbon neutral is a key part of this policy.

The company's managing director Peter Moore says: "as leaders in our field, it's important that we take our responsibilities seriously. Offsetting our carbon emissions is an important part of our overall strategy to reduce our impact on the environment, while supporting the communities we work in. We believe we're one of the first recruitment companies in our sector to commit to becoming carbon neutral.

"Carbon Forestry has a unique offering that addresses two issues - climate change and the decline of the British woodlands - with one single product." Peter adds: "now we've reduced our carbon footprint, we can offset the remaining emissions through Carbon Forestry, while investing in the British woodlands."
