MT Finance is committed to making changes to minimise our impact on the environment and strives to continuously improve our sustainability performance. As well as a commitment to becoming ISO certified in Environmental Management, MT Finance is working towards carbon neutrality.
Here are some of the ways we have implemented environmental changes in our business:
Our waste
- We have a strict recycling policy that covers toners and cartridges, batteries, paper, glass, plastics, wood, coffee pods, and electrical goods which can no longer be donated
- Our shredded paper waste is recycled. This happens at a facility that runs on renewable energy
- British Land, who own the 32-acre neighbourhood where our office is based, is progressing towards net zero carbon. 100% of the waste they manage is diverted from landfill and 94% of the energy they buy comes from renewable sources
- British Land is working to make our area traffic-free within five years
Our supply chain
- We audit all our third-party suppliers on their own ESG policies and activities
- We have a scheme which switches the cars our business uses to electric vehicles
Our products
- In June 2021, we introduced a cashback scheme that awards £250 credit to borrowers who achieve an energy performance (EPC) rating of A or B at any time during the term of their loan
Our support
- Inspired by our logo, we make an annual donation to the Global Penguin Society, a charity dedicated to the conservation of the world´s penguin species, the coasts, and the oceans they inhabit
