Towards A Greener Culture
Our employees are vital to achieving our IT sustainability goals. They have taken it upon themselves to reduce energy consumption in the office by reducing lighting in areas that are not used, by making better use of heating systems in the office, and making more effective reuse of packing materials. We have supported them in this by deploying ultra-efficient lighting and heating systems in the office, and encouraging employees to use hybrid or electric vehicles.
