Lampton Group Awarded Carbon Literacy Accreditation

Lampton Group has today announced that it has been recognised as a Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation. The accolade highlights Lampton Group’s ongoing commitment to tackling climate change, reducing its organisational carbon emissions and maintaining a low carbon culture.  

The recognition comes after Lampton Group formally undertook carbon literacy training for 70 employees. It will continue to work with The Carbon Literacy Project as it further expands training for employees across the organisation.  

Dan Smyth, Director of Recycling & Sustainability Services at Lampton Services said: “We are pleased to see our commitment to being a carbon literate organisation recognised by this accolade. At Lampton Group, we understand that arming our teams with the right knowledge and training is essential for successfully driving our sustainability agenda and maintaining a low carbon culture.  

“This training programme helps us to do that, encouraging our employees to understand their impact and make realistic and manageable changes that reduce the carbon output of our business.” 

Dave Coleman, Co-Founder and Managing Director of The Carbon Literacy Project, said: “Carbon Literacy is an essential skill, vital to every workplace, community, and place of study. It is the foundational knowledge, and a catalyst to empowering people to act on climate, however, Carbon Literacy is only the first step.  

“The actions taken and pledged by learners as part of their Carbon Literacy have an immediate impact within their organisation, however it is the maintenance of these and further actions, supported by Carbon Literate organisational culture, that reaps the greatest rewards for both participants and their organisations.  By becoming a Bronze accredited Carbon Literate Organisation, Lampton Group has demonstrated its commitment to genuine low carbon action, environmental and economic impact, and the building of a low carbon future for us all.”
