We're thrilled to share the amazing efforts and initiatives our Green Team have undertaken during Plastic Free July! Throughout the month, many Softcatters made personal pledges to reduce plastic waste. Some of these pledges included switching to reusable shopping bags, bringing homemade lunches, investing in reusable coffee cups and water bottles, consuming fresh fruits and veggies to avoid pre-packaged plastic meals, creating homemade natural cleaning solutions, recycling correctly, and going completely plastic-free for the entire month! 🛍️🍽️🥤🥗♻️ Our team was like a well-oiled machine, actively participating in litter cleanups across urban areas in Marlow and London. Kudos to the London team for their impressive turnout in two massive group sessions! 🙌🏼🗑️ Softcat is continuously working with its supply chain to measure and manage the amount of plastic used. We offer services to help reduce the amount of packaging used and ensure that packaging is recycled.

We recently celebrated our second Health and Wellbeing Week of 2023 - a regular fixture in Softcat’s corporate calendar that ensures our employees continue to thrive. The week was filled with lots of activities, lots of fun and lots of learning! This time round we introduced a new workshop, hosted by Steph Peltier, certified Mindfulness & PNT Coach, with a focus on team resilience. We also had sessions on eco-friendly eating, addictive behaviours and financial benefits for staff. On top of our range of company-wide sessions, the week was filled with activities in each office. Marlow enjoyed a sweat sesh at Leo Marlow, Leeds spent their afternoon having a good stretch followed by some health shots, and Glasgow finished their day off with a game of rounders. Thank you to our HR team and Health and Wellbeing reps who put this incredible initiative together. We have definitely come into this week feeling refreshed!
