Carbon Neutral Certified Company.
AMC Removals Ltd has offset their total organisational emissions footprint by supporting the VCS certified Solar Power project in India, which will reduce carbon emissions via the displacement of fossil fuels. This helps to combat climate change and sustain our environment for future generations.
AMC Removals is absolutely committed to retaining its' carbon neutral status. We are all faced with the need to reduce carbon emissions globally. To become carbon neutral, AMC Removals first reduced all possible emissions and impacts and then contribute to a measured reduction elsewhere to balance the rest. Currently AMC Removals are the only Scottish removal company to proudly achieve carbon neutral status.
Corporate Social responsibility.
AMC Removals participate voluntarily in the ‘Career Ready Programme’ from national charity Career Ready. This voluntary programme links High School students with working people and workplaces to develop the students understanding of careers and the right attitudes and professional skills needed to gain employment. This is a time intensive programme involving AMC Removals visiting the student in their school, organising visits to workplaces and supporting a paid internship with AMC Removals during the summer break. For each student, AMC Removals commit to a two year programme of support and help.
AMC Removals also visit local primary schools to give informative talks on a broad range of topics. This is always very much enjoyed by our staff and of course the primary school pupils.
