Decline Allow cookies About us Our work Connect Search Our environmental sustainability MannionDaniels’ mission is to work for an equitable, inclusive, and sustainable world, to practice business as a force for social and environmental good. We believe that caring for the environment is part of our role and connected to our work in health and equality. We aim to protect the natural world in everything we do. Why? Global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius above industrial levels is likely to be reached in the next five years. Widespread weather disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, droughts and floods have devastated ecosystems, wildlife, and people on every continent except Antarctica in recent years. These trends tell us that we need to fast-track commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions, eliminate chemical pollution, reduce waste to landfill and sewage, and reverse our impact on the biodiversity and ecosystem services that critically support our existence. We all have a responsibility to protect and enhance the natural world and act to create societal resilience to shocks, while ensuring no one is left behind.

They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. We are contributing to the achievement of the SDGs through our direct project delivery and fund management programmes. Menstrual Cup Coalition MannionDaniels is proud to be a member of the Menstrual Cup Coalition, and provides the coalition with pro-bono support to promote their work. Over 300 million women menstruate every day. Single-use period products are the fifth largest source of plastic on beaches. They take over 500 years to decompose; block sewers; fill landfills; pollute oceans; and create air pollution if burned. In comparison, the environmental impact of a reusable menstrual cup is less than 1.5% of the impact of tampons or towels. We believe in providing women with choice, and menstrual cups are the most environmentally sound option available. Women switching to menstrual cups consume 16 times less carbon, saving 7kg of CO2 emissions each year. Mitigating the impact of our travel emissions In our work, a significant amount of overseas travel is unavoidable. Every year, we record our total CO2 emissions from staff flights and invest the total sum of these in sustainable energy projects, which are selected by our staff.
