About HCR Group

UK Relocation Services - 10,000 moves each year

Global Relocation Service – 149 Countries Corporate & Temporary Housing – 20,000 property searches P.A.

Why do we care?

A home Search involving three visits with a distance of 200 miles between home and host city would leave a carbon footprint of 410kg – the same amount of emissions produced by two months worth of electricity by a UK family of four.

Air travel as result of international relocations are also one of the major producers of carbon emissions:

• Flight from London Heathrow to Telluride Texas for four passengers travelling 4869 miles would create 4.45 tons of carbon emissions.

• Mumbai, India to London Gatwick – London Gatwick for 2 people travelling 4468 miles would produce 2.02 tons of carbon.

• From Manchester international airport to Hong Kong international airport for three travelling 985 miles, would create 4.21 tons of CO2.

Our actions not only benefit our bottom line, but also our client and the environment.

Being 'Green' does not have to be more expensive,our business has benefited substantially –

From Staff/Supplier time being better utilised to increasing the profitability per case.
