Planet Mark is a sustainability certification for every type of organisation, for real estate and for products. Our certification recognises continuous improvement, encourages action and builds an empowered community of like-minded individuals who make a world of difference.
We believe we must all work together to embrace sustainability. We work passionately with organisations to empower their people to halt the climate crisis and improve society in everything they do.
Creating a brighter future is what we are passionate about, and we make sure we are always walking the walk. In 2020 we finalised our own sustainability strategy with the vision to make Planet Mark the most easily-recognised sign of progress in sustainability. The strategy has outlined the steps we need to take as a business to deliver our sustainability goals.
Using the same rigorous method as each of our members, we measure our carbon footprint every year; ensuring that we meet our annual reduction targets. We will be measuring the carbon footprint of our upcoming Zero Carbon Tour both digitally and physically. For the physical part of our Tour we will be using a 100% electric bus to visit our members across the UK sharing the net zero carbon message.
Since 2017 we have been measuring and reporting our social value contributions, and have seen these increase year-on-year.
Planet Mark are committed to ensuring that diversity and wellbeing are integral foundations of the business and are at the forefront of everything we do. We pay our staff over and above the London Living Wage, and in 2019 we joined the Living Wage Foundation.
We also have registration as a Disability Confident employer and are putting processes in place that enable positive action. In addition to this we have also become a member and advocate of the Mental Health Charter as a commitment to proactively talking about the importance of mental wellbeing in the workplace and reducing the stigma associated with this important topic.
We have also introduced qualified mental health first aiders that are embedded within the organisation to deliver internal training on the importance of mental wellbeing at work.
