Webgear Design Solutions - Environmental
Policy
When using Webgear Design Solutions as your internet services provider
please be assured of our continued efforts to provide an energy efficient
service using sustainable sources for our supplies, and suppliers that
implement environmentally friendly policies of their own.
Paper use
The use of paper in our office is kept to a minimum, with paper that
is used being printed on both sides where possible before being recycled.
We pay bills and receive payment electronically where possible thus
keeping the use of paper to a minimum. Clients are offered ways of
paying and receiving invoices electronically.
Electrical equipment
Energy efficient office equipment is chosen and set to power down
or sleep when unused for extended periods. We minimise the use of ink
in our printers by using electronic methods of invoicing clients and
paying bills.
Travel
Webgear Design Solutions keep travel to a minimum where it is feasible,
using video conferencing and Skype to communicate with clients. We
are now the proud owners of a MINI Cooper D Clubman, one of the greenest
cars currently available with CO2 emissions of only 108g/km, better
for the environment than most hybrid production cars on the market
currently.
Greener
hosting - now available!
All new sites built by Webgear Design Solutions now use servers that
are powered AND cooled (servers get VERY hot!) using renewable energy
sources. For every watt of electricity that a server uses, 1-2 watts
of electricity are typically required to cool it. What that means is
that our data centre is investing in over twice as much renewable
energy, on a per server basis, as those green hosts only using renewable
energy to power their servers. |
