Our remote working policy supports environmentally sustainable practices by focusing on reducing energy consumption, minimising waste, and lowering the carbon footprint of home offices. Key recommendations include:

Reduce energy consumption

  • Use energy-efficient equipment provided by the organisation.
  • Enable power-saving modes and turn off devices when not in use.
  • Maximise natural lighting and switch to LED bulbs.
  • Consider a 100% renewable electricity tariff.

Minimise waste

  • Prioritise digital files over printing.
  • Recycle e-waste, paper, and old hardware through approved services.
  • Use reusable office supplies like pens and notebooks.

Eco-friendly office supplies

  • Choose sustainable or second-hand furniture.
  • Opt for office supplies made from recycled materials.

Reduce carbon footprint

  • Source supplies locally to reduce transport emissions.
  • Use public transport, bike, or carpool for commuting to meetings or co-working spaces.

Conserve water

  • Install water-efficient fixtures in home office spaces.
  • Use water mindfully for drinks and cleaning tasks.

These measures aim to help team members work sustainably from home while contributing to a lower overall environmental impact.
