Sustainability

Edinburgh Edge is passionate about sustainability within our businesses and on our corporate events.

Climate change is upon us and the consequences for us and future generations have been clearly set out by the scientific community. There are sound economic reasons for adopting sustainable best practice but we now believe that this has been superseded by the moral imperative of simply doing the right thing. Whether there is a cost benefit or not, our decisions must be guided by the positive impact or negative consequence either environmentally or socially of our decisions.

Additionally the three businesses; Maximillion, Dalmahoy and EICA are each committed to behaving ethically and contribute to economic development, while improving the quality of life of the workforce, our customers and the local community.
