We’re 90.5% there!

Earlier this year we took part in the Get Sustainable Challenge, run by the Sustainable Business Network (see our blog post We’re Getting Sustainable), and we’re pleased to announce the results of our Assessment Report.

In an industry where ‘greenwashing‘ is all too common, the Challenge provides a platform for structured, third-party assessment of our operations, reporting based on our sustainability performance and a rating in eight key areas.

We’re pleased to have come out with an impressive average of 90.5% through the eight areas of assessment, with two areas achieving 100%. With the average of all participants’ assessments 74.5%, we’re proud to be batting considerably above our size!

The graph below from the Assessment Report highlights our score in each of the eight assessment areas compared with other assessment average scores;

Obviously we’ve still got 9.5% to go, so we’re currently working through the opportunities the Assessment Report has highlighted, and looking to improve our rating when we are assessed mid-2010!
