"Achieving Gold status is a proud moment for Axter and a testament to the passion and commitment of our people. We believe that real change comes from within, and that empowering our team with climate knowledge is the most powerful step we can take to create a more sustainable future for our industry.

“We are proud to be recognised as a Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation. This award reflects the dedication of our staff and our shared ambition to build a greener, more sustainable Hertfordshire. Carbon Literacy training is helping us to empower colleagues with the knowledge and confidence to make a difference, and together we are creating a culture of climate responsibility that will support our communities for generations to come. The bonus with Carbon Literacy is that it helps us bring new purpose to every workstream/project and get more lifetime value from the materials we need to use, which is so important for efficiency."

Cllr Adrian England, Executive Member for Sustainability at Hertfordshire County Council

"One of the most rewarding aspects of our Carbon Literacy journey has been seeing the enthusiasm of our employees.

"This award reflects the collective effort of our team and our shared belief that meaningful change begins with education,” said Binu. “Carbon literacy is not only about understanding emissions. It is about empowering individuals to take action, both at work and in everyday life. At MSP, we have seen how small behavioural changes can create lasting impact, and Silver status is a fantastic recognition of that progress.”

“Bronze Carbon Literate status reflects our commitment to carbon reduction and the tangible steps we’ve taken across the firm – from energy-efficient offices to renewable electricity and digital-first ways of working. Our journey to Net Zero by 2040 is underpinned by clear science-based targets, innovative office redesigns, and active engagement from our employees. The Carbon Literacy programme is a key part of embedding this culture throughout the firm. Sustainability is central to how we operate. From reducing office emissions and adopting renewable energy to encouraging sustainable travel and digital practices, we are proud to integrate environmental considerations into every part of our business.”

Karen Higgins, Head of ESG at Clarke Willmott

"Since the training, staff engagement on climate change has soared. Employees now feel more confident discussing climate issues with family, friends, and colleagues, creating a ripple effect that continues to spark conversations and action. Together, we’re building a more sustainable future for Burnley. We’re excited to continue this journey, monitor our progress, and strive for an even greater impact."

Councillor Margaret Lishman, Executive Member for Resources and Performance Management

“It is easy to ‘talk the talk’ but it’s more purposeful when everyone understands the issues and embraces the challenge by ‘walking the walk’. We now have the knowledge, have started to make positive changes together and feel supported to keep pushing for positive outcomes.”

Farah Asemi, Company Director & CEO, Diagnostics 360

"In order to provide leadership in this sector, we want to invest in our people to continually build the knowledge and skills they need.
