The Environment

Here at Opus Business Systems we believe that everybody is responsible for the preservation of our environment and that includes us. Of course we want to be successful in our business goals but we want to do this whilst ensuring we reduce the impact we have on the environment. That's why we are committed to playing our part.

What are we doing now?

Well, we’re taking steps to ensure that our team can play its part. As a communications company, we’re using the technology we sell to help employees reduce CO2 emissions by enabling them to work effectively from home. We also use conference bridges to enable geographically diverse team members to participate in virtual meetings, cutting down on the need to travel.

Our efforts don’t stop there. We recycle waste in our offices and ensure that we use paper and other resources responsibly to reduce emissions. We dispose of old equipment in line with current legislation. We also invest in our support staff and equipment and which enables us deal with 90% of all support calls from our offices.

Whilst we’re doing everything we can, we still have to travel and run offices, so we calculate our carbon footprint and each year we plant enough trees to ensure we’re carbon neutral.

And in the future?

We want our environmental policy to evolve. In the coming months and years, we are committed to changing our working patterns to help us preserve the environment. We will inform new team members about our environmental policy and help them play their part. Educating our team will continue and we will empower them to make their own impact on this policy.

We will continue to be responsible about our resources, such as company vehicles, ensuring that they replaced appropriately when due for renewal. We’ll also ensure that our offices use recycled or sustainable materials and will look to our suppliers to do the same.

How you can help us

For a start, we urge you to adopt similar policies in your businesses and have made a copy of our environmental policy available if needed. Please don’t print it unless absolutely necessary.

We know we don’t have all the answers, so if you have great ideas to help us do business more responsibly, then contact us. We’d love to hear your ideas.
