Society for the future
We’re working hard to create a stronger, sustainable society for members both now and in generations to come. This includes taking steps to be kinder to the environment by exploring ways to minimise waste, reducing our emissions and promoting greener practices. We want to protect the natural beauty of our heartland and ensure a brighter future for everyone in it.
Our work includes:
- Using local and recycled materials to create a branch footprint that is kinder to the environment.
- Encouraging our colleagues to reduce their own impact by introducing a Cycle to Work Scheme and Electric Vehicle Salary Sacrifice Scheme.
- Understanding the impact of our greenhouse gas emissions and setting clear targets to reduce our environmental impact.
- Offering discounts on properties with better EPC ratings, helping our members to purchase energy efficient homes.
- Embedding our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy to support the needs of our colleagues, members, and the communities across our branch network.
“At Furness, we have an important role to play in protecting our heartland. We have the utmost respect for our local environment and our efforts are guided by our purpose as a mutual organisation.”
