Captain Planet is the original environmental superhero. The brainchild of Ted Turner, Captain Planet's cartoon adventures are known to a generation of children and he is now using his green superpowers to persuade staff at Turner to be even  more environmentally friendly!

At Turner's Soho headquarters 100% of waste is now recycled. There are recyling points around the building and everything goes to a recycling plant where it is sorted and items that previously went to landfill are now recycled too.

Turner's Environmental Policy is promoted by CSR, the Environmental Commitee and  'Enviro Champs' throughout the company and our 'Turn Turner Green' campaign. Turner works with The Carbon Trust and Envido to help it reduce its carbon footprint and help its staff and viewers do the same. 

Below are some of the things we have done:

All copier paper is recycled * All paper in the washrooms is recycled * Every floor has recycling stations * All waste goes to a recycling plant * New cleaning patterns mean the lights now go out at night * CNN, Cartoon Network and TCM promote WWF’s Earth Hour * We use Ecover products in the kitchens * The staff magazine is now electronic * We are replacing desk TVs with fewer wall monitors * 84 power monitors are installed around the building * ‘Intelliplugs’ automatically switch off power in meeting rooms * All new suppliers have to answer an environmental questionnaire * Sensor taps and flushers in the washrooms save water and energy * Cycle To Work scheme with space in the garage * All copiers automatically print double sided * Fairtrade drinks machines throughout the building * China and glass instead of paper cups – and all are recycled * Environmental volunteering opportunities * Replaced air-con chillers with most environmentally friendly models available * All light fittings now use high frequency energy saving bulbs * Solar reflective film on windows now reduces heat build up and so uses less air-con * and much, much more.
