In the last 12 months, the Achilles Carbon Reduce Programme<\/a> has also helped its members to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by a significant 97,411 tonnes CO2-e, which is the equivalent of 48,700 cars travelling 7,600 miles per annum.<\/p>\n

To offset this amount without reduction, Achilles customers would have had to plant over 4.8 million trees within one year \u2013 making the reduction a colossal feat for climate action.<\/p>\n

Achilles has also won the international \u2018Toit\u016b Brighter Future Award 2022 for Climate Action\u2019 for the second consecutive year.<\/p>\n

Austin Hansell, Carbon Product Manager at Toit\u016b Envirocare said: \u201cWe are recognising the organisations from the various Toit\u016b Envirocare programmes making a significant impact in environmental sustainability. \u00a0Achilles is actively working to reduce its impact and with businesses across the UK.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Toit\u016b Brighter Future Awards are judged on impact, not public voting, with the winners scientifically proven to be making a positive difference to the world around them. It\u2019s simply progress. We are the currency by which businesses can forge change \u2013 and have the means to do so when certified under our programmes. No business will ever be perfect and we have to keep improving, so these awards help acknowledge the milestones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Achilles Chief Executive, Paul Stanley\u00a0 added:\u00a0 \u201cClimate action is one of the most important challenges of our generation. Our people work with passion and commitment every day to help our customers address carbon reduction and meet their ESG goals.\u00a0 Showing leadership within our own business is vital for our credibility and for our planet\u201d.<\/p>\n
