Sustainability Policy

I recognise the need for sustainability and took part in the Small Business Britain Sustainability program as part of my commitment to sustainable work practices.

As a remote worker, my carbon footprint is minimal but I take the following measures to reduce it:

• Working paper-free unless the task explicitly requires it.

• Working from a laptop on battery power where possible.

• Using a green tariff for electricity.

• Ensuring my workspace is insulated adequately to minimise heating needs.

• Attending sustainability sessions, such as Oxford Brookes Small Business Sustainability Basics course to ensure I have the knowledge to make changes as they become viable to do so.
   

The following are not currently viable but have been explored and will continue to be re-examined at regular intervals:

• Moving to fully sustainable energy generation such as an on-site turbine, solar panels or heat pumps.

• Being registered as carbon neutral through carbon off-set programs.

• Working exclusively with carbon neutral businesses.
