At MTS we assess the impact of all our activities and adopt an approach which is in harmony with sustainability principles. This includes: purchasing fair-trade products; purchasing products which contain recycled materials; re-using and reducing waste as much as possible; and travelling by bicycle or by public transport whenever possible. In addition, we arrange for a tree to be planted by the Woodland Trust for every person trained by MTS.
