MCM’S CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

MCM is proud to have an effective Corporate Social Responsibility programme, we focus on local charities, nonprofits and our impact on the environment. We believe in giving back to those who have dedicated their time to help others and in a net zero future. We have helped and are continuing to help charities by; fundraising, volunteering and providing digital marketing and website services. We have also launched our very own climate action initiative in order to work towards saving our climate by taking responsibility and reducing our carbon footprint.

‘We challenge and inspire growth to thrive and exceed expectations whilst empowering people to live their best lives’

How?

Macmillan Cancer Support

We have taken part in several Macmillan Coffee Mornings in order to help raise funds. With a mix of shop bought goodies and homemade bakes, there is something for all taste buds!

2.6 Challenge

We took part in the 2.6 Challenge, some of the activities included a Lockdown relay – 26 passes in 26 lockdown ‘seconds’. Theresa ran 2.6 miles in 26 minutes, whilst John and Bobby (the office dog) energetically planted 26 potatoes! We donated to the main fund which will be split between all of the challenge charities.

MCM’S CLIMATE ACTION INITIATIVE – REDUCING OUR FOOTPRINT

We’ve launched our very own Climate Action Initiative. The initiative, which forms a part of our Culture Club, focuses on what we are doing to take responsibility for our actions that have an impact on the climate.

Following our transition to a ‘Work from Anywhere’ ethos, our contributions to the daily commute emissions are minimal. On average, cars in the UK produce 180g of CO2 per km, assuming each member of the team works from home 3 days per week, then we are already reducing our weekly CO2 emissions by a huge 1,116.18kg.

Our office space has changed, we have an efficient hub in Tonbridge and various hot desking bases available to us – meaning we are no longer heating (in the winter) or desperately trying to cool (in the summer), a large 3 floor building for the team.

Some of the ways the team are helping to reduce their own carbon footprint include:

Making a large flask of tea or coffee for our desks, instead of boiling a kettle multiple times throughout the day.
Turning off the heating during the day and dropping the thermostat by a degree or 2 at night.
Finding meat free meals that we enjoy and sharing the recipes for others to try.
Turning off plugs that aren’t in use.
Buying milk and juices in glass bottles from a local milkman, instead of in plastic bottles from the supermarkets.
Walking when the car isn’t needed.
Making Christmas gifts instead of ordering online (removing the need for excess packaging and delivery emissions).

WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED..

More fundraising activities – such as sponsored walks.
More volunteering – shops, hospice.
Continuing to provide advice and digital services (Reduced costs for charities).
Continuing to look at other ways to reduce or offset our carbon footprint.
Beach clean up.

If you would like to join forces on a new project or if there is something else you think we should take part in, please
