Sustainability
Doing right by people. And the planet. We’re building a business that’s good for our clients, good for our team and better for the environment – for the long term.
Get in TouchWe hold ourselves to the same standards we help our clients achieve.
Sustainability at CBS is built into how we operate – from our digital-first services to the way we run our workplace and support our team.
We’re working towards carbon neutrality by 2030, supported by a structured reduction plan, a dedicated Carbon Accountant and measurable targets we actively track.
Our focus is on practical improvements that reduce impact while improving efficiency – not broad statements, but actions that stand up over time.

Our environmental commitments
Switching away from paper-based processes was an early priority. Every organisation using our digital screening platform instead of a paper equivalent reduces printing, handling and associated emissions, delivering measurable environmental savings.
We power our operations using renewable energy and continue to invest in on-site energy generation.
Alongside this, we have:
- Significantly reduced paper usage across all operations
- Removed single-use materials from our workplace
- Prioritised responsible disposal, including donating equipment rather than sending it to landfill
Responsible by design.
This approach extends beyond our services into how we operate day to day. Our headquarters in Mountain Ash has been developed with sustainability in mind, with practical measures built in from the outset.
These include:
- Renewable energy supply
- LED lighting and energy-efficient systems
- Enhanced insulation and ventilation
- Electric vehicle charging points
- 100% recycling
- Elimination of single-use materials
We continue to invest in further improvements, including increasing on-site renewable energy generation. Our office is more than a workplace – it reflects how we believe businesses should operate: responsibly, efficiently and with long-term impact in mind.
