Royal Mail has launched a high-tech, interactive training roadshow to communicate vital health and safety messages to thousands of its employees across the UK.
Key objectives for 2008 include: a commitment to reduce staff mileage; to become more energy efficient; to increase recycling and to investigate green energy supplies for the future.
The firm has also pledged to run a wholly carbon-neutral business in 2008 - offsetting not only its own carbon emissions but also those of its client roadshows.
Keith Austin, Managing Director of EMS, said: "Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing business today; achieving the ISO 14001 standard demonstrates that we are seriously committed to minimising our carbon footprint and puts us in the vanguard of the UK marketing industry.
"I believe we will see increasing demand from clients for this level of commitment." Sarah Wilkes, who led the ISO accreditation process at EMS, said: "Achieving the accreditation is just the first stage; the real work will be in making sure we reduce our environmental impact in the year ahead.
"We have put in place staff training to ensure that everyone in the firm is committed to playing their part".
