Reducing our Carbon Footprint, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Waste

Hugo Technology is currently working enthusiastically towards achieving its ISO 14001:2015 certification.

Aiming to be fully certified by the end of 2023, we are proud to be monitoring and reducing our environmental aspects and impacts such as: energy, water, emissions, WEEE waste, greenhouse gases and fuel.

All employees, regardless of role, have embraced 14001 with full enthusiasm and gusto.

Our Current Strategies Include...

Recycling

We are conscientiously using recycling bins for both business waste and domestic-type waste, ensuring that even the smallest plastic milk carton finds its way into the correct bin.

Paperless Working

We are moving towards a paperless system and encourage all staff to diligently minimise printing. Since moving to a bespoke online system, we have reduced paper usage by approximately 70%.

Fuel Emissions

We encourage car sharing amongst employees, utilise an efficient Field Engineer travel management tool to reduce mileage and emissions and promote remote working where feasible.

Supplier Monitoring

We operate a scoring criteria for our suppliers which enables us to make informed and more environmentally friendly choices regarding our Parts and Consumables without compromising on quality or performance.

Energy & Water Consumption

We have a company-wide policy which sets out details as to how each employee can reduce water and energy consumption through such means as, but not limited to, utilising energy-saving modes on computers, switching off unnecessary lighting and sockets and using only the required amount of water in kettles.
