Charting a Greener Future: Consenso Global’s Environmental Blueprint
At Consenso Global, we are profoundly committed to reducing our environmental impact and contributing to a sustainable future. We ardently support the Sustainable Development Goals 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) within our company and actively develop actions to further the aims of Goals 13 (Climate Action), 14 (Life Below Water), and 15 (Life on Land) as outlined by the United Nations. Our journey is one of continual progress towards a world that values sustainability and equity, with each initiative we undertake to minimize our environmental footprint and safeguard biodiversity.
A Paradigm Shift in Work: Embracing the Home Office Model Whenever Possible
Our strategic shift towards enabling remote work illustrates our commitment to environmental sustainability. By making the home office model viable wherever possible, we significantly reduce the need for daily commutes. This reduces our collective carbon footprint and promotes a more balanced, healthier lifestyle for our employees. The benefits are manifold: reduced stress, encouragement of healthier lifestyle choices, cost savings, and less environmental impact. Importantly, our adherence to the ISO 27001 information security standards ensures that our environmental initiatives do not compromise data security, demonstrating our belief that flexibility, security, and sustainability can coexist harmoniously.
A Catalyst for Community Engagement
The flexibility offered by remote work doesn’t just benefit our employees by balancing their professional and personal lives and empowers them to engage more actively within their communities. This active engagement is a pivotal aspect of our social commitment, enabling our team to contribute positively to societal advancement and environmental best practices.
Our Environmental Commitment: Practical Steps Toward Sustainability
In our continuous quest for sustainability, we have implemented several critical initiatives to lessen our environmental impact:
- Rationalizing Travel: Business travel has been minimized in favour of virtual meetings. Necessary travel prioritizes eco-friendly modes of transportation, reducing our carbon emissions.
- Green Electricity for Data Centres: Our choice of data centres powered by green electricity ensures our digital operations align with our sustainability goals.
- Eco-friendly Practices and Minimizing Paper Use: Our office has only two printers for legally essential documents, significantly reducing our paper usage. This strategy emphasizes our commitment to waste reduction and resource conservation, fostering a digital-first communication and documentation culture.
- Equipment Sustainability: We prefer repairing over replacing equipment (such as chairs, tables or computers) to decrease emissions and support local businesses.
- Choosing Certified Products: Whenever possible, we select locally produced products and/or carry eco-friendly certifications.
- Recycling Initiatives: All paper is recycled after shredding, and irreparable equipment is sent to recycling centres.
- Energy-Efficient Lighting: Upgrading to LED bulbs across our workplaces to diminish energy consumption.
- Green Web Hosting: Opting for web hosting services that either utilize renewable energy or are committed to carbon neutrality, thereby minimizing our online carbon footprint.
At Consenso Global, our dedication to innovation, learning, and actionable measures drives us toward a future that is not only sustainable but also inclusive for all.
