AssessTech have partnered with sustainable business advisor Positive Planet to work on their sustainable development goals.
Rail is already one of the UK’s greenest forms of public transport.
RSSB states that ‘environmental and social sustainability are essential elements of the long-term vision for the rail industry. Achieving this and meeting government targets requires a unified sustainability plan that will lead the sector in defining an industry-wide approach.’
AssessTech recognises the importance of being environmentally conscious as a business and is committed to wider sustainable development goals that aim to minimise any negative impact on the natural environment.
Small businesses are responsible for approximately ½ of all UK business greenhouse gas emissions, which shows the importance of promoting a focus on sustainability across all SMEs.
Positive Planet is a sustainable business advisor that helps SMEs work towards their sustainability goals to deliver a positive impact on the planet.
AssessTech took its first carbon footprint in 2021/2022 and is measured annually. This measurement allows us to understand how activities are currently performing and how we can feasibly, realistically, and accurately improve.
Over the coming years, we will work closely with our suppliers to engage in conversations around sustainable actions and product procurement and to support cleaner and greener travel for our employees.
‘It’s great that businesses like AssessTech are taking the time to better understand what the future holds, how it impacts their business and roles within their company.’
