Thomas Hardie Commercials Ltd
The introduction of this initiative, they hoped, would inspire a positive movement, and encourage us all to contribute to reaching our sustainability targets. This aspiration prompted us to form our very own Thomas Hardie Green Team. The team, consisting of our employees and some of our senior management team has been tasked and engaged in advancing sustainability within our organisation. Meeting quarterly, we’re able to discuss/debate ideas and suggestions that we can put into practice back in our respective workplaces.
Since this initiative was launched, our Green Team made impressive strides, which will not only make us more sustainable as a business but will have a positive impact on our carbon footprint overall.
Taking action on climate issues can be hard, but Thomas Hardie introducing a designated Green Team offers an empowering way to make a difference. Having a dedicated internal group working towards agreed targets will make the process more efficient.
We have regularly been sharing our ongoing Green Team activities with Volvo Trucks UK, and they’ve been so impressed with our commitment and the level of improvements we’ve made thus far, that we’ve been nominated for the “Sustainability Champion Award” in their “Move the World Challenge” We are overwhelmed to receive such a nomination, and it corroborates that the changes we’re making are seen as having a positive impact as we strive to become more eco-friendly. In recognition of this achievement, we’ve been presented with a diploma from Roger Alm, Executive Vice President of Volvo Group and President of Volvo Trucks. Winners of the “Move the World” competition will be announced in early 2023, so watch this space!
