Environmental Impact

In 2023 we are committed to formalising our own impact on the environment and working with our suppliers to ensure Scopes 1, 2 and 3 are covered.  

We take our impact on the environment seriously.  Since 2009 we have been, and continue to, retain our ISO14001 accreditation showing our commitment to the environment and a more efficient, conscious use of earths resources. This is not a legal requirement, but helps us adhere to laws and environmental regulations.

We are currently working on our Carbon Footprint and will have a full report available when the process is complete.  We are then committed to our reduction targets year on year.  We know our biggest contributors at present are:

Energy

  • We are on a green tariff with our energy supplier
  • We have installed a new, more efficient boiler in our offices
  • Our heating is on a timer
  • We do not have air conditioning in our offices 
  • We do not have water coolers
  • We turn off monitors at the end of every working day
  • We turn off lights at the end of every working day
  • We do not send out of office emails internally so reducing  data storage space

Fuel

  • 75% of staff come from within a 15 minute radius of the office
  • We operate a hybrid working system
  • We encourage car sharing where possible

Shipping/deliveries

  • Our couriers are switching to electric vehicles
  • 95% of our packaging is recycled and recyclable.  We are continuing to work on becoming 100%.
  • We reuse any packaging that comes into us where possible

Other areas we are working on

  • We encourage end of life units to be returned for us to reuse, recycle or repurpose
  • We are working with MMU to look at the impact of our website and what elements we could change without detracting from the overall user experience
  • We have recycle bins in the kitchen and recycle our waste
  • We recycle or repurpose old IT equipment   

To calculate our carbon status we are working with Positive Planet to measure our emissions and help us set a reduction plan.
