Temple Translations goes green and takes responsibility

As part of our expanding Corporate Social Responsibility policy, Temple Translations London has pledged its allegiance to the environmental challenge of 2010. The 10:10 campaign, launched September last year, invites businesses and individuals to cut their emissions by up to 10% in a year, focussing particularly on energy and fuel consumption of gas, electricity and business flights. Now, running from February 2010 to February 2011, TTL has joined all the other socially responsible UK based companies and is looking at ways to reduce our energy consumption in the coming year.

Trying to cut gas and electricity use can be difficult, especially for a carbon light company like ourselves, who already have a relatively small energy consumption. This, coupled with one of the harshest winters on record and our expanding business in our New York office, requiring flights to NYC, is proving to be even more of a challenge than first anticipated. However, we at Temple enjoy the prospect of challenge, and hope to be able to reach our goal come February 2011.

One of the keys to success in this project is the participation of our stakeholders. Presentations, pep talks and regular information on our progress help to motivate and prompt people to think responsibly about their energy consumption. Whether it is cutting down on using the lift, remembering to put the PC into sleep when leaving the office, or simply remembering to turn off the lights at the end of the day, all the efforts made can help the environment around us.

At Temple, the idea of energy saving is not radical. For a few years now, we have had light sensors in various parts of the building, which automatically turn on and off the lights when a person enters the room. Indeed, being energy aware is vital to any responsible business looking to the future of sustainable development
