Green Office Iniciative

In order to reduce our ecological footprint, we decided to maximize the amount of hours that are worked from home. As a result, we only use our office when clients request so. All of our team currently works from their home, therefore we have practically eliminated the carbon footprint involved in the daily commute, the office’s energy consumption, and so on.

This initiative has helped us reduce our office’s footprint in a very significant way. Furthermore, we have also taken specific measures to improve our office’s footprint. We developed three main targets: proper waste management, water consumption reduction and energy saving initiatives.

Waste Management

Recycling: We have committed to effectively recycle the waste that is generated within our office. Our office building has a recycle center where we adequately dispose of the collected items.
Reduction: We are committed to reducing the use of single-use plastic. We do not offer reusable plastic bottles or cups to our visitors as part of this commitment.

Energy Saving Initiatives

We have launched an initiative to turn off all the lights and screens that are not being used at the time. The team is committed to actively search for un-used energy devices that can be turned off.
We have regulated our air-conditioning temperature to stay within a range of 23 – 25 degrees Celsius in order to avoid extreme temperature swings that generate higher energy consumption.

Water Consumption

Our faucets have diffusers installed that increase water pressure and reduce water consumption
