Daisy looks to grow green message

Telecoms firm Daisy Communications has launched its own carbon calculator and

offsetting service after reaching carbon-neutral status.

The firm, in partnership with the Carbon Advice Group, has already offset 255

metric tonnes of carbon dioxide – the total annual emissions created by its

everyday business practices.

It is now urging more firms to follow its lead by introducing a range of

carbon calculators on its site.

Stuart Cordingley, director of product and marketing at Daisy, said: “We are

taking our environmental obligations seriously and are keen to encourage others

to do the same. Climate change is emerging as a major challenge for modern

society. Government, business, and wider society will all be affected. All of us

have a role to play in tackling it.

“Working with the Carbon Advice Group, we have created a simple and

effective way for the business community to find out their own carbon footprint

and to do something about it, there and then.”

Matthew Sullivan, chief executive of Carbon Advice Group, said: “We are

delighted that Daisy is taking such clear, positive action to deliver a carbon

reduction and offsetting message to its customers, stakeholders and staff. It

is leading from the front in the way it is spreading this vital awareness.”
