Environmental Policy
As an employee-owned PropTech company, based in the centre of London, we at Trace Solutions recognise our responsibility to minimise our environmental footprint and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable urban environment.
We are therefore committed to environmental sustainability, and to integrate environmental management best practice into all our business operations.
Our Key Principles
1. Energy Efficiency:
We will strive to reduce energy consumption in our office spaces by implementing energy efficient technologies and practices. In doing so we will minimise our carbon footprint.
Achievements so far: energy efficient LED lighting is used throughout the office and is sensor-activated. Kettles have been removed and replaced with a single cup boiling water faucet. We were established users of video conferencing technology long before Covid, and much of our work takes place via this medium.
2. Waste Reduction:
We will minimise the generation of waste and promote recycling and responsible waste management.
Achievements so far: our office environment is paperless. All employees are encouraged to reduce landfill and actively recycle using the appropriate recycling bins provided. All personal bins have been removed.
3. Sustainable Procurement:
We will seek products and services that align with our commitment to sustainability and consider environmental impacts in all procurement decisions.
Achievements so far: energy efficient LED lighting is used throughout the office.
4. Transportation:
We support remote working arrangements by offering employees the opportunity to work 2 days in the office and three days at home.
Achievements so far: We encourage employees to choose ecofriendly commuting options, such as public transportation, Bike2Work or use of our electric vehicle discounted benefit.
5. Water Conservation:
We will reduce water consumption and prevent water wastage through investing in high-efficiency equipment.
Achievements so far: Installation of low-flow faucets. Employees are encouraged to recycle and reuse water whenever possible.
6. Community Engagement:
We actively engage with local communities, participating in or supporting environmental initiatives that benefit the city.
Achievements so far: We adhere to all relevant local and state environmental laws and regulations.
7. Carbon neutrality:
We are publicly committed to achieving net zero in line with national guidelines.
