Our environmental story

Living our brand values as a responsible organisation

As a tech company we are innovative by nature and so we believe that we should be leading the way in reducing our carbon footprint, using our creativity and design expertise to set a great example for the sector and support our clients.

We are focused on activities which address each of the ways that our business impacts the environment.

We believe that setting clear goals is the best way to hold ourselves to account, so we are aiming at and investing in being carbon neutral before the government's target of 2030.

Supporting our clients to achieve their environmental goals

The pace of change in our industry can make equipment obsolete very quickly, increasing waste. That’s why we are actively working closely with our clients to help to reduce the environmental impact of the technology within their workspaces.

We recycle 100% of our equipment including laptops, switches, phones through our charity partner, Jamies Computers, part of The Society of St. James, Hampshire’s leading homeless charity. So, we’re not just reducing our carbon impact, we’re also helping vulnerable local people experiencing homelessness.
We are supporting our clients to achieve their environmental goals by designing our services to be device-agnostic so that new clients can retain existing equipment, reducing their carbon footprint.
On average, each new client site has 15-20 switches and we expect to recycle around 1,000 by 2025, saving all this equipment from landfill.
We undertake an annual review of our suppliers’ sustainability policies giving preferential treatment to those who are aligned with our environmental goals.
Where available, we provide equipment power usage information in our client quotes.
