It is a core value of Vericap that:
| - |
It acts in all aspects of its business in a planet friendly and restorative sustainable manner, |
| - |
accepting an inter connectedness of all things, and |
| - |
taking a cradle to cradle approach to the planet's scarce resources. |
We are continually striving to find ways in which we and our investments can achieve a restorative planet friendly footprint, by:
| - |
reducing both our reliance on fossil fuels and our overall consumption, and |
| - |
increasing our energy efficiency and recycling practices. |
In 2007, Carbon Planet undertook our carbon footprint analysis and provided us with emission reduction advice, which we are aggressively acting upon. In the interim we purchased carbon offsets from CO2 Australia and removed our existing carbon footprint.
|
|
It is Vericap’s goal that the planet is better off from its activities and all those in its sphere of influence.
Over the 2008 year, we intend to:
| - |
Undertake a carbon footprint analysis of our employees at home and the businesses of our investments, and pay for the neutralisation of their current carbon footprint in the short term. |
| - |
Push hard to achieve a restorative footprint across our business (both the demand and the supply side), our employee's homes, our investments and their employee's homes. |
| - |
Contribute an additional 2.5% of our revenue to external sustainable planet friendly projects. |
