In today’s world, where climate change and environmental degradation pose significant threats, we have a crucial role to play in fostering sustainability. This is why we have taken steps to improve our sustainability as a company, to treat our planet with kindness and respect.
Here are some ways we have taken steps to improve sustainability:
Energy Efficiency: We have invested in LED lighting which emits far less carbon than using traditional filament bulbs. By replacing all our bulbs to LED the energy emissions have been reduced by 75%. Our headquarters are insulated so in the colder months we can retain heat, and turn down the thermostat to save energy, also reducing our heating bill, which is a massive bonus!
Waste Reduction: At Teffont we believe that appliances should last, which is why we focus on repairing your printer and photocopier models, as in this day and age, technology is often replaced very often, leading to large amount of waste. Repairing your printer quick, easy, and will save you money in the long run! We also sell second hand models which have been refurbished, meaning that you can shop with us with a clean, green conscious.
Green Transportation: A staggering figure of 74.5% of transport emissions comes from road vehicles, which roughly amounts to 6 billion tonnes of CO2. All of our engineers have switched from diesel vehicles to hybrid, drastically reducing the pollution to the atmosphere.
We are always looking for ways in which we can improve upon this and adopt even more business practices that are kinder to our planet. We hope that this post has inspired you to take the steps to improve sustainability at your workplace too.
