We are in a climate emergency. The effects are already obvious, and it\u2019s speeding up. We all need to be doing everything we can to care for the planet, to avoid or reduce the impact it will have on us and our children.<\/p>\n

And yet in the homecare sector there is a collective silence on the biggest threat we as a society face. Seriously – Google \u201chomecare carbon emissions\u201d and you\u2019ll see that we are the only organisation that has even attempted to measure the carbon footprint of the homecare sector, let alone talk about our carbon footprint and what we\u2019re doing about it.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Caring for people and planet<\/h3>\n \n

We started measuring, reducing and offsetting our carbon back when we only had four offices. Now, with over 30 quality homecare providers across the country, we are delighted to centrally measure, reduce and offset our entire network\u2019s carbon emissions, at no additional cost to our franchise partners. GoodOaks only works with projects that meet the Quality Assurance Standard for Carbon Offsetting<\/a> and BSI\u2019s PAS 2060<\/a> specification on carbon neutrality, our mix of local tree planting and investment in green projects around the world.<\/p>\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n\n

Going further<\/h3>\n \n

We know offsetting is not enough. We want to do more, and to help our franchise partners do more too. We are starting with installation of electric charging points at our Bournemouth and Poole office, and trialling the use of Citroen Ami, a \u2018100% urban mobility solution\u2019 to help our care professionals take their petrol and diesel engined vehicles off the road all year round.<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope to use our learnings and growing bulk purchasing power to empower our network to go further and faster when it comes to decarbonising homecare.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n\n

“I chose GoodOaks over other franchises because I stand by the same values. When it comes to care for other people, I know that an organisation’s core values matter a lot because they lay the foundation for what the company cares about most.”<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n
