Naomi Wood, Marketing Manager at Agency said:
As the UK largest provider of estate agency board services, we are conscious about our carbon footprint and becoming a carbon neutral business has been high on our list of priorities. Thanks to Carbon Neutral Britain we have now achieved that status and we are offsetting our emissions by investing in Reforestation, Deforestation Prevention and Woodland Management Projects. This is a major step in our green journey, and I’m overwhelmed at the response from out network of franchisees. We are all proud to be taking steps in the right direction together.
James Poynter, director at Carbon Neutral Britain added:
Carbon Neutral Britain is proud to be partners with Agency Express, to help identify and offset their environmental impact for 2021 and beyond. Carbon offsetting is a simple and affordable way to reverse your impact on climate change for emissions that cannot be removed completely – and in the case of Agency Express, vehicle emissions contributed a significant amount to their total carbon footprint. Offsetting their total footprint to become Carbon Neutral is a fantastic achievement, which we hope will inspire others into environmental action.
Agency Express are advocates for carbon offsetting and are hoping to inspire others within both the franchise industries and estate agency industries.
