This is how WSP’s PACT scheme works

A VOLUNTARY personal carbon trading scheme for staff.

Designed and delivered on a highly professional basis

We set a 5 TONNE ANNUAL carbon “allowance”

Staff track their DIRECT emissions on a quarterly basis on www.wsppact.com

Staff who are under their allowance receive a bonus payment of 5p per kilo up to £100. Staff who have used more than their allotted share of carbon pay into the scheme.

The scheme is based on TRUST - we do not audit the results

We’re now establishing a series of PREFERENTIAL AGREEMENTS to help staff reduce carbon at home

1048 staff taking part in the scheme across the world today

“It was initiatives like PACT that made me want to work for a company like WSP – they actually practice what they preach and care about sustainability issues.” Julian Elsworth, Senior Consultant

“As a result of PACT, I was able to see how much carbon I was using on my car. I decided to stop driving to work and I took up cycling instead.” Marie Jones, Consultant

“At home I bought a real time energy meter. This gives me better information on where the energy is actually being used. I am also thinking more about the impact of flights that I take.” Louise Wood, Senior Consultant

The Learning Points for similar schemes?

It’s thinking differently that adds to value

Don’t be afraid to take action

You won’t have all of the answers to start with – start small and grow the scheme

Make it interesting, engaging, and long lived.
