Email This Post Add your comments

Employees at an environmental firm in the UK are keeping tabs of their out-of-work carbon emissions and paying fines when they go over the limit, Personnel Today reports.

WSP Environmental is charging staff who signed up for the PACT (Personal Allowance Carbon Tracking) scheme 5p for each kilogram they exceed of their yearly six tonne limit.

The money will go into a fund to be used to buy energy efficiency devices.

If an employee’s annual carbon emissions are less than six tonnes, they can choose either a direct cash payment, or for the money to be invested in the fund.
