Going Green

 

It feels almost impossible to avoid creating carbon emissions in 2023. Everything from technology, transport, warming our homes all the way down to the food we eat has an impact.

If the thought of going green gets you feeling stressed then you’re not alone. We are all in it together and even the greenest of warriors can feel overwhelmed at times. We’ve learnt that with a few small changes we can all greatly reduce our emissions and be better for our planet, without feeling like we’ve had to sacrifice a single thing!

Here’s our 3 step action plan:

REDUCE

We’re actively reducing the amount of carbon that we produce every day by switching to green schemes, going cloud-based, reducing transport times and eating plant-based foods.

 

REINVEST

We’ve committed to offsetting what we can’t reduce by investing in VCS approved schemes that actively reduce carbon emissions, such as planting trees and ocean conservation.

Check out the VCS Schemes we’re supporting here:

REGENERATE

We’re doing this by planting a new tree to celebrate each new client we take on. New trees help to clean polluted air and create more oxygen. See how many trees we’ve planted here: JVF Accounts Earthly Profile

 

Keep an eye on our blog for more green content, we will be sharing our progress as we go.
