As a company we aim to minimise our carbon footprint in a number of ways.

Recycling: at our offices we recycle paper, cardboard, magazines, aluminium & steel cans and glass. We regularly circulate environmental information to our staff to stimulate awareness and offer a central battery collection for recycling facility.
Energy conservation: office areas are only lit when in use. Computer updates are actioned overnight once a week therefore enabling all desktops, monitors and laptops to be turned-off when not in use. Hot beverages are always made in bulk for maximum energy efficiency. We favour office fans and open windows over air-conditioning.
Printing: we have an internal policy to only print when essential and then to print double-sided. We are moving from printed magazine subscriptions to industry e-magazines. We carefully segment our database and favour emailshots, white papers and e-books for information distribution.
Website: we are building an information-rich website in order to minimise any need for printed brochures and information leaflets.
