    • Sheffield Offices
  • Recycle or reuse 100% of electronic, paper and other recyclable waste.
  • Be paper-free by default (with limited paper-based business cards and promotional materials).
  • Use energy-optimised hardware appropriately specified for the task.
  • Actively scale and shift workloads based on demand and power down unused hardware.
  • Encourage all employees to use sustainable methods of transport when commuting or attending meetings.
