Reducing our impact on the environment - mitigating the climate crisis

  • Minimising travel or promoting alternative commuting options
  • Communicating our environmental policy, practices and progress to all stakeholders

No Planet B – Our member engagement programme

 

CGI UK’s recognises the importance of the climate crisis and the role businesses play, our “No Planet B” initiative engage our staff members on our journey to reduce our environmental impact and to facilitate their contribution towards meeting our environmental objectives.

In the winter of 2019 we planted 5,500 trees – one for every member – at the Scottish borders, whilst also giving 2,500 trees to our staff members to donate to their local communities. Running this initiative again, our members have nominated schools, care homes, nature reserves and community bubbles to plant another 2000 trees across the UK this year.
