Steps already taken:
With regards to our aims, we have already started on our sustainability journey:
- All lights in our office operate on a motion-sensitive timer, meaning none can be left on accidentally.

- Almost all of the team takes public transport, walks or cycles to work.
- A flexible work-from-home schedule has been implemented to reduce unnecessary travel to and from the office.
