HomePage Development have gone green!

By becoming an accredited carbon neutral business, HomePage Development is offsetting it's carbon footprint. Climate Friendly is the accredited organisation used to offset our CO2 emissions.

It is all very well to sit back and say 'the Government should do this' or 'big business should do that', but the fact of the matter is that everyone can do something.

What is HPD doing?

HomePage Development are offsetting carbon emissions by becoming "carbon neutral". We have measured our carbon footprint by taking into account our:

  • electricity consumption
  • travel
  • office consumables

From this calculation, we purchase certified carbon credits from Climate Friendly, who in turn support the development of genuine sustainable energy projects. Climate Friendly will guide you through the process of measuring your carbon footprint and give advise on your various options supporting this global cause.

In the office, we encourage green practices which includes:

  • printing
    • does it really need to be printed?
    • print double sided where possible
    • use paper with maximum recycled content
    • use refillable toner and ink cartridges
  • computers
    • switch off monitors when going to lunch or meetings
    • set display to power saving setting
    • turn computers/printers off at the end of the day
  • waste
    • recycle office waste (paper, toner cartridges, glass)
    • reuse paper that has only one side printed
  • communication
    • encourage communication via email
    • all invoices are issued as a .pdf and emailed
  • water
    • reduced water in our toilet reservoir (we have placed 2 water filled glass jars in each toilet, reducing the water used per flush by about 2 litres)
