Reduction strategies in place for energy use

Impact Plus employees can choose to work remotely to cut down emissions generated from commuting and office activities. We also encourage everyone to take public transport or to cycle to work in service of that goal. In the event that travelling is required within cities, public transport is the default option.

Our Offsite in 2023 was ecodesigned to be as friendly to the environment as possible. That entailed:
The use of a eco-responsible site
Exclusively serving vegetarian meals
All long-distance journeys to attend being made by train

Impact Plus’ data servers are hosted in France, and are low carbon electricity intensity in line with Amazon Web Services (AWS) standards.
From 2024, we will require our external vendors to evaluate their own carbon footprints, including scope 3 emissions, in order to refine the evaluation of our own carbon emissions. Copy answer

All photocopiers and PCs are compliant with the relevant energy efficiency standard; we run efficient heating and hot water systems, small cisterns and passive infra-red sensors (PIR) which minimise water use, and low traffic office areas such as stairwells, toilets, offices and meeting rooms have PIR operated lighting.
