Going greener: Daisy Communications is encouraging more firms to go green

Telecoms firm Daisy Communications has launched its own carbon calculator and offsetting service after reaching carbon-neutral status.

The firm, in partnership with the Carbon Advice Group, has already offset 255 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide – the total annual emissions created by its everyday business practices.

It is now urging more firms to follow its lead by introducing a range of carbon calculators on its site.

Stuart Cordingley, director of product and marketing at Daisy, said: “We are taking our environmental obligations seriously and are keen to encourage others to do the same. Climate change is emerging as a major challenge for modern society. Government, business, and wider society will all be affected. All of us have a role to play in tackling it.

“Working with the Carbon Advice Group, we have created a simple and effective way for the business community to find out their own carbon footprint and to do something about it, there and then.”

Matthew Sullivan, chief executive of Carbon Advice Group, said: “We are delighted that Daisy is taking such clear, positive action to deliver a carbon reduction and offsetting message to its customers, stakeholders and staff. It is leading from the front in the way it is spreading this vital awareness.”
