Why FTG is Focussing
on Sustainability

Our commitment to Investors in the Environment

Investors in the Environment is owned and managed nationally by the environmental charity PECT, whose core mission is all about creating sustainable places. PECT created Investors in the Environment in 2010 to bridge the enormous gap between businesses and effective environmental management. Since then, they have worked with hundreds of organisations through consultancy and accreditation.
