THE GREEN INITIATIVE
Find out how the Truth Legal team are helping the environment
We always try and do ‘our bit’ to be green and help the environment, so here are a few things we are proud of at Truth Legal:
We are investing in local woodland and rewilding
We recycle most things, including confidential shredding, with an external local company and toner
We have eco-friendly dishwashing tabs
We turn everything off at the end of the day and only have lights on in the rooms we’re using
We are sending more emails and documents online rather than by post
Our printer is a multi-purpose machine, so we only have a limited number of machines running
We have plants in the office
We have planted pollinator friendly plants in the Truth Legal garden. These include Nepeta, Salvia, Sanguisorba, Persicaria, Sarcococca and the crab apple trees. The thyme and Erigeron (daisies) bordering the path are also good for pollinators.
We have highlighted through our podcasts local environmental organisations such as Zero Carbon Harrogate and Long Lands Common, both of which we are involved with
We are paper-lite
We have reusable soup cups in the staff kitchen to help reduce plastic/paper waste
When our local staff do come into the office they do so mostly by walking or cycling or on public transport, though inevitably cars are still used
We always try to buy in bulk
Our waste is taken by Harrogate Borough Council to a state-of-the-art waste management plant at Allerton see for more information. This reduces the amount of waste taken to landfill, whilst also creating biogas.
We use washable face masks instead of disposable
