Sustaining Communities offers tailored research that aligns with your specific goals, whether it’s assessing the effectiveness of a program or evaluating community engagement strategies.
Environment
We are deeply committed to environmental sustainability. We reduce our carbon footprint through energy-efficient practices; waste reduction, recycling and by sourcing materials responsibly. We also undergo regular environmental practices such as litter picking and creating spaces that are suitable for wildlife.
We actively encourage our workers and volunteers to adopt eco-friendly habits. Through these efforts, we strive to create a positive, lasting impact on the planet for future generations.
We have increased our efforts when purchasing environmentally friendly equipment and resources. We source materials that are eco-friendly and commission partners who are also committed to working towards being carbon neutral.
In addition to our continued recycling, our team pick up over 250 bags of litter in the communities where we deliver services, ensuring that the park’s and streets remain clean and safe for residents.
Our Environmental Officer conducts energy assessments with residents to help them improve their environmental commitment and save money in the process.
This also involved advising on how to support local wildlife.
