Of course, any business is only as good as the people who work in it. So what does sustainability mean for you and your team? These sites will tell you what the latest ideas are in this area, and give you practical steps to involve your team more.

Good websites

Description

cyclescheme.co.uk A great site showing how to get tax free bikes for work – including a section for employers. Lewes may be a little hilly, but there are always mountain bikes!
Get your team involved – suggest they consider car sharing as a social and fun way to get to work. East Sussex County Council have teamed up with liftshare, the largest implementer of car sharing systems in the UK, to launch this site.

Looking for inspiration? Check out the list of leader businesses on this site – in the business section under resources.  These are large businesses proving that sustainable business can be very profitable. There is also an interesting report on "Leader Business Strategies" to download.

walkit.com

When visiting London walking may be a surprisingly good way to get around – saving, time, money and helping keep you fit. This site let’s you enter a start point and destination. It gives directions, says how many calories you will burn, and, even, how much CO2 you avoided releasing.

actionaidrecycling.org.uk

This site is setup to help you do the right thing by recycling old phones and other equipment, while benefitting a good cause at the same time.

bitc.org.uk 

Social responsibility and sustainability are clearly linked. The major business responsibility organisation in the UK is probably Business in the Community.

www.freecycle.org 

Freecycle is a system, used all over the world, where people can give away things they no longer need –- for free. Usually used by the public at large, you can, of course also use it to give (or get) office and other business equipment.
