Environmental Policy
At SMBTech we believe that behaving in a greener, ethical and more environmentally responsible manner is good for sustainable business and good for the future of our earth.
We practice this in our own company in the following ways:
Using ‘greener’ energy
- Investing in our own alternative energy sources
- Using alternative energy source providers
- Using suppliers who use alternative energy sources (such as ecologicalhosting.com for our web hosting)
Transportation
- Using public transport or car sharing wherever practically possible
- Providing our employees with the tools to work remotely and collaborate with each other
- Working with suppliers to reduce product transportation miles
- Allocating local technicians to projects wherever possible
Customers, suppliers and partners
- We only work with environmentally responsible business partners
- Actively encourage the use of paperless transactions e.g. invoices, catalogues, etc
- Promoting green IT solutions to potential customers
- Identifying energy saving opportunities at every opportunity for our clients
Recycling
- by using recycled materials in company literature
- encouraging all employees to recycle business and personal waste
- recycling all product packaging
As well as reducing energy consumption, waste and carbon emissions, working in this way is great for business:
- it reduces travelling time
- increases people productivity
- it reduces costs that we can pass to our customers
