MDLConnect Sustainability MDL (and it's parent company, Macmillan Publishers) has been 'carbon neutral' for its entire operations and logistics since 2017 Here at MDL We are committed to promoting a culture of involved responsibility regarding the environmental impacts of our business. We encourage our employees and stakeholders to create better habits and consider the impact of the decisions they make in the workplace. In order to drive and maintain this culture, we have created a sustainability team that has two main focuses: Reviewing efficiencies relating to our environmental impact. Activities here might range from large projects such as LED lighting and reduction of plastics used in packaging, to encouraging less waste in canteens and at print points. All with a view to reducing aggregate impact on the environment. Negating the impact we inevitably have as a business by actively pursuing projects that encourage a more sustainable future. These include recycling projects, partnerships with local sustainability efforts and navigating our staff towards a less 'throw away' culture.
