MC Construction x Play It Green
Salford-based MC Construction is blazing a trail after teaming up with Play It Green to reduce its carbon footprint.
The company is the first construction business to join Play It Green’s Climate Positive Workforce programme as it steps up its drive to lower its carbon emissions and to progress towards becoming a net zero operation by 2038.
MC Construction has signed up its entire 60-strong team to Play It Green’s online subscription service.
For a monthly fee, every staff member will receive weekly tips, discounts, education and tools to help them and the business reduce their footprint. Thirteen trees will be planted each month to rebalance each individual’s existing carbon footprint.
In addition, as part of the same subscription, the North West Air Ambulance Charity will receive a regular donation as the company’s charity of the year. Ten per cent of Play it Green’s revenues go to each member’s chosen good cause.
