The plan ranged from purchasing and monitoring to energyawareness, and achieved not only energy savings, but morerecycling, both at home and school. The total amount savedcame to 51 tonnes of CO 2 and over £8,000 per year.HRH The Prince of Wales’sMay Day Business Summiton Climate Change, LondonOn 1 May 2008 MITIE was invitedto demonstrate our innovativeapproach to tackling climatechange at our ‘making yourbuildings and facilities smarter andgreener’ – themed stall.

We collect, recycle and dealwith over 350 different types of waste,and because we’re not tied to usingour own disposal facilities we canshop around to get our clients thebest price from local suppliers, whichalso helps to cut traffic emissions.We also practice what we preachand have segregated recyclingfacilities at many of MITIE’s offices.These can deal with paper,cardboard, plastic and tonercartridges, and use our ownpatented TREEHUGGER rangeof products and services.Redundant computers, laptops,monitors and electrical equipmentare also recycled in accordancewith Waste Electrical and ElectronicEquipment (WEEE) regulations usingthe supplier’s asset recovery scheme.Mobile phones and accessoriesare recycled via the Fonebakscheme, with £5 donated to ourselected charities for every mobilephone recycled.Environmental Champions ForumThe Environment Champions Forummakes the most of the skills andexperience we have across thewhole Group. The forum membershave helped to develop MITIE’senvironmental strategy, andpioneered a host of energy-savingideas, as well as volunteering theirexpertise to help at local schoolsand conservation projects.Sustainability DayIn January 2008 we ran our firstSustainability Day in partnershipwith the HM Treasury (HMT) officesin Norwich, one of our majorclients.
