Just Do It, as mottos go I love this, just like I love ours which is ‘Know No Boundaries’. It is a combination of both these slogans that got me thinking about our attitude to what we can all do about the climate crisis.

When I started thinking about being more responsible as a business, I felt overwhelmed and unsure where to start. Even worse, I was uncertain that what we could do would have an impact. It was at this point that the first slogan came into play – Just Do It – this prompted me to make a start.

At Chase & Holland, it started with the recycling bins, asking people to switch lights off and it has snowballed from there. No real plan, just a desire to create a manageable plan and see where it took us. From those early days, we have changed our lighting system, installed an electric car charging point, encouraged less car travel and changed our energy supplier to a green-only tariff. We have even changed our toilet rolls to a fully recycled brand! In 2022, we will be having no meat Wednesdays.

This brings me on to our own slogan ‘Know No Boundaries’, because after just doing it we have now got the ambition and impetus to make our business carbon neutral by 2025. It is only at this point that we have started to work on our own Climate Change plan to do our part as a responsible business for the future.

I am writing about this because it is a topic I am passionate about, and I believe no matter how small the things you do, every little thing makes a difference.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a carbon-neutral business or a business that hasn’t given it any thought; we can all have our own version of knowing no boundaries.
