We decided to join prime because it filled a perfect gap. We’d previously looked at lots of companies that we could work with to reduce our carbon footprint, which all ended up being box-ticking exercises, and we didn’t feel like we were going to make any meaningful impact; in terms of steering clients in certain directions but also educating our own team, I knew that there was so much we could do. I think PRIME could make a huge difference to the industry. All the members of PRIME are in the same market but are spread across a lot of different sectors; from designers, makers, to contractors and it is incredibly useful to share our experiences, we can all learn from each other, and it’s the sharing that is the big benefit of PRIME. Now that we are PRIME members, it is something that we talk about regularly in team meetings, we have a sustainability section on the agenda and our sustainability manager reports to the team how we have done each week in terms of electricity usage, printing, and waste, which all creates a bit of a weekly challenge for our own internal sustainability. By being members, PRIME’s six principles hold us accountable to ourselves.
