Corporate Responsibility Manager

Visible and vocal

What matters above all, we believe, is a willingness to stand up and be counted.

Until recently, the environment has been widely considered an issue of concern only to classic heavy polluters - industrial giants whose environmental impacts are palpable. This is beginning to change. Even relatively 'clean' white-collar companies such as ours are increasingly expected to acknowledge the impact – both direct and indirect – of their activities, and take action to reduce it.

Despite our relatively small carbon footprint, we at Man have been at the forefront of trying to behave in an environmentally responsible manner – and by setting a good example, encouraging others to do likewise.

Doing our bit

Man operates mostly from city based offices in 15 countries around the world. Other than in London and Switzerland, we generally occupy less than 10% of a building's total space, with services provided by the

landlord. In such areas, our environmental endeavours necessarily focus on engaging with landlords and encouraging responsible behaviour, given the very limited impact of our own direct actions.
