 | The Human Businessis Climate PositiveThis means we helped to slow down the increase in global warming in the year of certification, as we saved more greenhouse gas emissions than we produced. This has been independently validated by "Go Climate Positive". About us The Human Business is one of an increasing number of voices advocating a different approach to doing business. An approach that recognises the many challenges we are all facing but that tackles them in a sustainable and human centred manner. Our ‘Meet Connect Refer’ community is for business professionals who believe putting human into business and connecting at a deeper more personal level is the only way for them to grow and prosper in a sustainable manner. Whilst putting human into business is not always easy we believe it is always worth the endeavour because when inspired people come together the impossible becomes achievable.

Activities
We are removing carbon from the atmosphere by planting trees in the UKWe are investing in planting trees and managing woodland in the UK that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Our programme plants a mixture of native tree species that are selected for each location to match the needs of wildlife. We account for each individual tree, and we maximise its ability to capture carbon for at least 50 years by nurturing and managing our woodlands to check that the potential of our trees and their benefits to the local environment is met. |
We are reducing our customers' mileage by moving our meetings onlineWe have committed to move all our meetings online, saving 11kg CO2e per meeting. Over the next few years we will ensure that all of our meetings are hosted on services that use only renewable energy. |
