Having appointed Rebecca Elliott as its new Sustainability and Compliance Manager last November, Elliott Baxter Group has highlighted the projects and initiatives achieved so far.
This includes 74% of the company’s waste being recycled and avoiding landfill in 2023 and this year EBB is partnering with new suppliers to improve this and to explore waste reduction strategies, including customer secure shredding.
EBB has also transitioned all its facilities to energy-efficient LED lighting and has set targets to ensure all facilities are fully powered by renewable energy sources by 2025.
In a bid to reduce its carbon footprint, the company has also implemented an electric company car fleet initiative meaning now 56% of its cars are fully electric. EBB plans to have 100% of its car fleet running on renewable energy by 2027.
Aside from sustainability and EBB has also introduced a charity match funding programme which will see the company match contributions for employees and immediate family members to selected charities.
The company has launched a charity match funding programme
and has already matched €580 raised for the Wicklow Half Marathon for the Irish
Heart Foundation
One month after launching the scheme, EBB is supporting Orla Stynes from its Dublin sales office and her family in doubling their contributions raised by running the Wicklow Half Marathon for the Irish Heart Foundation in memory of her dad.
Styne’s brother Colin finished the half marathon in just under an hour and raised €580 which EBB matched.
Finally, the company has installed defibrillators across all its sites, prioritising the safety and wellbeing of its staff and visitors. Staff at each branch have been trained in the use of the units.
Rebecca Elliott, Compliance and Sustainability Manager at EBB, comments: “The strides we have made since I took on this role in November 2023 shows our dedication to creating a positive impact on the environment and in our local communities.
“I have been working alongside so many inspiring colleagues, customers, and suppliers and I can’t wait to continue to implement positive changes.”
