Community We strive to give back to the community and our individual brands support a selection of charities in their local areas through financial donations and fundraising activities. As an overarching charity Lomond supports Crisis and our employees attend an annual “sleep out” to raise awareness of the homeless in UK. Environmental As a responsible business, Lomond are committed conserving energy, paper and other resources, while reducing waste, and controlling our impact on the environment through more sustainable office operations. A waste broker has been instructed to drive a recycling programme and we are striving to achieve zero waste to landfill by the end 2023. Car Fleet We operate a fleet of company cars. When these need to be replaced we will seek to ensure that they are replaced are wherever possible with non- diesel, fuel efficient and are of an effective size for their purpose. We have begun incorporating the use of electric vehicles in our fleet and this current level of 5% will continue to grow.
