Sustainability at Montanaro

We expect high ESG standards from the companies in which we invest and we aim to practice what we preach.

53 Threadneedle Street

Located in one of the City’s older buildings, we do our best to preserve and use our resources efficiently. We conserve electricity, use sustainable suppliers – and support beehives on our roof.

Net Zero Carbon

At COP 25, we joined fellow B Corporations to announce that Montanaro would achieve Net Zero by 2030. We have partnered with Climate Care to offset the impact of our business travel.

Recycling

We recycle waste and consider our printing volumes. Using periodic collections, we recycle unwanted electrical items.

Charity

We support City Harvest, a London based charity providing food for those in need. Montanaro also founded Tribal Survival, a charity that promotes the well-being of indigenous people. Our team volunteers for charities every year.

Diversity

Our team is multi-cultural and comprises ten different nationalities. We promote diversity and equality throughout our business.

Wellness

We encourage healthy eating and support a charity that supplies fresh fruit for the office. We’re also run a weekly yoga class, helping to ensure the well-being of the team.

As a certified B Corporation, we aim to lead by example and encourage sustainable practices in smaller businesses around the world.

We are proud to pursue purpose alongside profit, alongside our fellow B Corps from many sectors and countries.

Our Charity

Tribal Survival
www.tribalsurvival.co.uk

We founded and support Tribal Survival – a UK-registered charity which aims to promote the wellbeing of indigenous people across the world.

Our founder, Charles Montanaro, is an anthropologist by training and has visited remote tribes across the world for decades. With his wife, Jane, he established Tribal Survival in 2014 to provide aid to endangered tribes, particularly the Korowai Tribe in West Papua.

Ever increasing resource pressures are placing stress on the lives of those fighting to retain their ancestral lands, customs and traditions. With support from the World Health Organisation, Tribal Survival has sponsored a number of trips to distribute medication to remote tribes.

City Harvest London

In partnership with The Giving Department we are seeking to identify charities where we can make a meaningful difference, via donations and the volunteering of our staff. As a result, we are delighted to begin by supporting City Harvest London.

City Harvest provides a simple solution: providing food to vulnerable people in London. The charity collects high quality surplus food from the UK’s leading retailers, wholesalers, restaurants and manufacturers to distribute to more than 300 community programmes. These include soup kitchens, community cafes, day centres for the elderly, refuges for those fleeing domestic violence and breakfast clubs in schools.

At the end of May 2020, City Harvest had delivered over 10 million meals since they launched in 2014. The impact of Covid-19 has been staggering: since lockdown began on 23 March, the charity has delivered over 1.5 million meals across London. In the week ending 24 March, City Harvest delivered food for more than 210,000 people. During the same period last year, 70,000 meals were distributed – an increase of 200%. Their services are needed more than ever.
