The salary paid to the lowest worker has fallen this year due to the employment of cleaners as salaried staff.

All staff receive a pension entitlement of 6% of gross salary, external and internal training and the offer of a company bicycle. A new company handbook has also been produced, offering more support and structure to the staff. We are also in the process of developing an employee share ownership programme.

Age and gender of staff
The average age of Ethical Property Company staff is 38, with the oldest staff member being 53 and the youngest 23. Of 17 staff in all, 10 are male and 7 are female.

Company travel during working hours
Using records of financial expenditure on travel we have been able to analyse the balance between car use and public transport use by company staff and directors during business hours, as distinct from travel to and from work. This method does not measure journeys by bicycle or journeys not claimed. Taxis are classed as public transport.

In the last year, car travel while at work accounted for 0.48% (£85) of journeys out of a total travel budget of £17,448. This was one car journey to a training centre with no public transport links. Otherwise, employees and non-executive directors used train, bus, bike, foot and then taxis as the main means of transport in order of importance.

Working in Scotland has presented new challenges to our green travel policy. However after one trip by plane in the early stages, we have now settled in to a pattern of taking bicycles on the train and out of nine staff trips to Scotland eight have been made by train.
