Fresh thinking 

The issues around climate change and sustainability are so huge and wide-ranging that it can be hard to work out what to do for the best.

We have over 20 years’ experience in managing buildings and resources, and improving people’s surroundings. That means we’ve got hundreds of great ideas to make you greener and cleaner – and to help you save money while you’re doing it too. Whether it’s reducing your energy consumption, using LPG vehicles and always planning our journeys to save on carbon emissions, separating waste streams and helping you recycle more effectively. We’ve got some great ideas that are already helping thousands of our clients.

We’re a people business. That means we’re all about motivating people – each and everyone of the 51,000+ individuals who work for us – and making them want to do their jobs better than anyone else in the world.

Why? Because the more successful they are, the more successful we are. So we make sure they have the skills, training and support they need to excel, as well as a fair, equal and responsible environment to work in. That’s why we were one of the very first employers to make the UK government’s Skills Pledge – a voluntary promise to our employees to ensure that all eligible individuals are helped to gain basic literacy and numeracy skills and a full Level 2 qualification – equal to 5 GCSEs at A* - C.

It’s why we offer numerous reward schemes too - keeping our people inspired and focused on achieving both our clients’ and their own goals is what gives us the right people for the right job, and the right attitude to getting it done. Our annual MITIE Stars Awards Scheme is a good example; open to all employees, this is a major award with life changing prizes – the overall winner takes home over £27,000 worth of prizes.
