Caring for the environment and implementing a green strategy is an important part of ControlCircle's corporate agenda.
In today's world, companies are under increasing pressure to meet their responsibilities especially since the recently amended companies act, which lays out new legal requirements for a company's environmental responsibilities.
With the help from 'Carbon Smart' and 'Trees for Cities', ControlCircle has designed, developed and implemented a green strategy. Why? Because having a sustainable business is the only way think in today’s increasingly interdependent world.
Trees for Cities is an independent charity working with local communities on tree-planting and landscaping projects. Our aim is to tackle global warming, create social cohesion and beautify our cities through tree planting, community education and training initiatives in urban areas of greatest need.
ControlCircle will be....
- - Funding tree planting projects in the UK
- - Sponsoring Trees for Cities 5 km Tree-Athlon event
- - Taking part in a corporate challenge day

Being Carbon Smart® means taking a positive, practical approach. It means taking steps to improve your energy and resource efficiency, reducing your carbon footprint first, and only then offsetting the impact that cannot be eliminated.
ControlCircle has recently completed the initial stage of the Carbon Smart plan:
1. Calculate your Carbon Footprint
Measure your environmental impact, understand its causes and identify what you can do to reduce it. Using proprietary tools, our specialists will gather and analyse detailed information about your business’s use of energy, fuel and resources, staff behaviours and opinions.
2. Action Plan
Commit to a realistic target for reduction, with our guidance you will get your staff and managers onboard, prioritise the actions and plan the critical steps needed to be successful.
3. Reduce
Make straightforward changes to energy use, waste and resources, travel and staff behaviour with our practical hands-on help to make each change really positive and hassle-free.
4. Build staff engagement and motivation
Understand the attitudes and the behaviours in your business that need to be encouraged or changed. Communicate, explain, engage and motivate with our simple, effective tools and techniques.
5. Offset
Support valuable environmental work elsewhere in the world that compensates for your environmental impact with equivalent reductions. Invest in the best offsets that meet the highest international standards: CDM, Gold Standard, Voluntary Carbon Standard.
6. Network
As a Carbon Smart® business your environmental actions are an advantage; taking real practical steps sets you apart from the competition. Tell your staff, your recruits, tell your customers and their buyers, tell investors. Want to get the right environmental message across on a website or a tender document? With our tools, material and expert help, as a Carbon Smart® business it is easy
