We consistently aim to reduce and remove our environmental impact wherever possible. To date we have undertaken the following measures to address this issue:
- Global power management switch-off system – designed to switch off all non-vital electrical devices in all offices outwith office hours e.g. monitors on standby and reduntant networking equipment.
- Zero paper printing policy – as of August 2009 we switched off our office printers. All documents are managed electronically.
- Cycle to work scheme – we actively encourage staff to take part in this scheme. To date 50% of our staff have taken the offer and cycle to work.
- Waste recycling policy – all received paper waste is reused/recycled through nearby recycling facilities.
- Energy efficient purchase policy – as of July 2009 all hardware purchased must confirm to certain “green” credentials e.g.green ethernet on all switches and hubs.
- Staff education programmes – awareness campaigns for all staff to help save energy e.g. switch off light posters and procedures.
