We've gone all green!

Here at ARC we are proud to announce that our business is the first in the South East to be awarded with the STEM accreditation scheme and are delighted to hear that we’re already on the first level (blue award) of STEM before anyone in the South East. Our next aim is to rise to the challenge of achieving the silver award, this is where we will mainly work towards reducing our carbon footprint by taking certain actions identified in our environmental assessment programme.

In order to achieve this award we have been recycling all our recycleable office wastes; two staff members now cycle to and from work or work from home; we measure our carbon emissions from our offices, equipment and vehicles. In terms of production, use recycled materials such as FSC certified paper for publication printing, recycled timber for our signs and sculptural items and the printed graphics for them uses latex printing technology.

Being an eco-sufficient business is very important to us here at ARC as we are a heritage and environmental interpretation company we must act responsibly towards the environmental impact of our actions. We want to be a sustainable business and not waste money on paying for energy that is harming the environment. Not only is this accreditation saving us money, it’s encouraging others to follow in our footsteps and look forward to a brighter future for all of us.
