Grant Thornton Limited is dedicated to protecting the Isle of Man’s natural resources and ensuring a sustainable future. The company has taken significant steps to reduce waste and encourage recycling. Milk cartons, cans, and glass used within the office are all recycled, and the number of general waste bins has been reduced, with a single bin placed next to the recycling station to promote sustainable choices. To further minimise waste, all staff have been provided with reusable bottles and cups, reducing reliance on single-use plastics.
Grant Thornton Limited is committed to pursuing economic growth in a sustainable manner. By embracing video conferencing technology, the company has significantly reduced the need for business travel and continues to monitor and minimise emissions.
Grant Thornton Limited takes pride in its diverse workforce and actively celebrates different cultures through ‘Culture Days,’ where staff share traditional foods from their backgrounds. The company also fosters an appreciation of the Isle of Man’s heritage by inviting members of the House of Keys to discuss their roles and by introducing staff to Manx language phrases. Employees are further encouraged to explore the Island’s natural beauty through an annual steps challenge, which includes a best picture competition.
Grant Thornton Limited has committed to three key environmental pledges:
1 - Reduce Carbon Emissions by 50% by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline. 2 - Eliminate Single-Use Plastics, phasing out plastic bottles, straws, and cutlery. 3 - Divert 80% of Waste from Landfill by 2030 and Achieve Zero Waste by 2045 through improved recycling and composting.
Each year, Grant Thornton Limited raises funds for local charities, having supported Isle of Play, The Manx Wildlife Trust, Age Concern Isle of Man, and Wish Upon A Dream. Additionally, during Earth Week, staff volunteer with charity partners, including Beach Buddies, to help clean and protect the Island’s beautiful beaches.
