BASING View headquartered relocation firm HCR has seen a dramatic reduction in its carbon footprint.

According to its latest carbon footprint review it has reduced its absolute emissions by 21.5 per cent on last year’s figures.

Based at Belvedere House HCR is strengthening its drive to cut the greenhouse gases it produces and operate in a sustainable way.

And the latest report from local carbon management experts Carbon Footprint proves it is making consider-able progress to becoming green.

HCR environmental manager George Dawes said: “It is credit to everyone here at HCR – and their commitment to minimising our impact on the environment – that we have seen this significant reduction in our carbon footprint.

“Rapid climate change is the largest threat to human society worldwide. We take our carbon responsibilities as seriously as the rest of our business and we believe it is vital for companies like us to work towards a common goal of reduced emissions.”

According to Carbon Foot-print, which is based in Worting House, in Worting, HCR has also reduced its absolute emissions by 39 per cent since its baseline year 2011.

“We are one of the UK’s largest providers of employee relocation and property-related services – so the nature of our business means that our own travel is dependent on our clients,” said |George.

“There is still much we can do but there are measures we can take to minimise the impact of this on our overall footprint.

“We will continue our efforts and do all we can to make further reductions over the next 12 months and in the years to come.”
