Sustainability Policy
At Mint & Co, we are committed to operating in an environmentally responsible manner. As a fully remote company, we minimise our carbon footprint by leveraging digital tools and reducing the need for physical resources.
Our Way of Working:
- Remote Work & Digital Operations: We do not have a physical office, reducing energy consumption and commuting emissions. We use cloud-based systems like Google Docs, Xero, and Minutedock to minimise paper usage and enhance efficiency.
- Sustainable Travel: If travel is necessary, we undertake to travel by train wherever possible, including client visits, team meetings, and industry events.
- Paper-Free Business Model: We subscribe to online trade magazines and do not receive physical copies, ensuring minimal paper waste.
- Energy-Efficient Banking: All our banking is conducted online, reducing the need for in-person transactions and paper statements.
- Eco-Friendly Meetings & Events: Our in-person team meetings (approx 8-12 across a year) are limited to necessary team gatherings in London, held at co-working spaces rather than dedicated offices, further reducing energy use. Our social events for the whole team happen 2-3 times a year and we encourage the use of trains and public transport.
Social & Ethical Responsibility:
- Diversity & Inclusion: We promote equal opportunities and fair treatment in our hiring and management.
- Employee Wellbeing: We support the mental health of our team with a Mental Health First Aider, and promote an ethical work-life balance approach with fully flexible hours and remote working for our team. We provide our “Mindful Mint” annual programme, covering mindfulness, physical health and personal and professional development. The programme is available for the team and also to clients as a mix of free-of-charge and subsidised cost-point sessions (depending on the membership tier of the consultant and client)
- Community Impact: Charitable giving annually, to charities nominated by the whole Mint & Co team. Currently 2% of net profit. Implementing One Tree Planted donations of 1% of net profit in 2025.
Continuous Improvement:
Mint & Co is dedicated to integrating sustainability into our business model and encouraging responsible practices across our industry. We will continue to explore ways to further minimize our environmental impact by adopting new sustainable practices and technologies as they become available, as well as continuing to support the wellbeing and professional development of our team and clients.
