Large companies are, indisputably, at the heart of many environmental issues and need to make big changes to their sustainability as soon as possible to help combat climate change. And many have already done so.
But with so many large tech companies going green, shouldn’t smaller IT companies, like ours, follow suit?
Pearce IT has, for a long time, been committed to being a sustainable and environmentally positive company:
Our telecoms gained carbon neutral certified status back in 2012
Our hosted services provide energy efficient IT options for our clients
Tech is a large contributor to environmental issues, from energy usage to polluting waste and manufacturing techniques.
So how can tech companies improve and go green?
One major way that large companies can reduce their carbon footprint is to offset it with positive actions, such as planting trees or making the big switch to green energy. Renewable energy is, of course, the ideal way to reduce the carbon footprint of any company and the goal that we should all be striving towards.
Here at Pearce IT, one of the ways we reduce our carbon footprint is by using electric vehicles for all of our customer visits. Before lockdown, we were on the road a lot, visiting clients, going to meetings etc.. Even now that we are limiting our in-person interactions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, the amount of carbon emissions that we save by using electric cars over diesel or petrol is significant and helps to balance out our company’s carbon footprint.
Whether you have already made steps to reduce your carbon footprint or not, there is always more we can be doing.
