In everything we do, we advocate for a fundamental re-think of how society uses and consumes resources. As such, our sustainability strategy is materially linked to our commercial strategy.
By 2050, the world is expected to produce 3.4 billion tonnes of solid waste annually – a 70% increase from 2018. Linear production models deplete finite resources while contributing to the accumulation of pollutants in the environment. As a result, it is vital businesses take steps to shift towards circularity.
Reconomy supports the circular economy by enabling businesses to make the best possible use of materials through the delivery of data-driven insights and innovative sustainability services. To amplify our impact, we build partnerships that help maximise renewable opportunities for valuable resources.
The Reconomy Social Value Programme (RSVP) supports a range of voluntary services for community wellbeing, such as school projects, local community nature initiatives, and employment support for people from hard-to-reach backgrounds. This programme offers colleagues a day to volunteer in your local community.
To support our net zero goal, we have an international team of ambassadors – our Net Zero Heroes – who champion environmental best practice across our teams and facilities. Our Net Zero Heroes work collaboratively to drive responsible practices within their workplaces, through the promotion of recycling practices and the development of innovative waste solutions, creating synergies with our clients and celebrating global awareness events.
Reconomy specific and general sustainability training is available with on-line and virtual sessions.
Sustainability management is an iterative and developmental process – we value the practice of listening and learning in all aspects of our operations. Working collaboratively allows us to capitalise on new opportunities and develop the capabilities to deal with risks and challenges when they arise.
We believe every business has a responsibility to conserve resources, increase recycling rates, and maximise energy efficiency. Across our brands, we are working to reduce our carbon footprint while delivering sustainable value for our stakeholders.
