Oxford Edge is committed to becoming a carbon neutral firm and support environmental initiatives inside and outside our business. We are certifying our carbon footprint and will be fully carbon neutral in three years. This is Oxford Edge’s Going for Green initiative.
This year, we donated 100 native trees in association with Trees That Count. They have been planted at Kawea Farm near Springfield, where they are happily sucking up carbon and transforming the land for future generations.
We plan to donate more than 1000 trees to meet our carbon goals, and will work with volunteer groups to plant trees as well.
Some of the initiatives we are undertaking internally include:
- Moving towards paperless workflows, including online client portals
- Using new printer technology when we need to print
- Flexible work from home policy to reduce commuting
- A planned reduction in premises space
- Reducing air travel thanks to video conferencing
- Bike parks at work – which get good use!
- Recycling and food waste initiatives
- Reviewing our electricity use
- Reducing wastage
We have much more to do, but we are very conscious of our impact on the community we live in and want to make sure it is a positive impact.
