The environment
We also believe in minimising our impact on the environment. We therefore try to reduce the use of paper, preferring to use electronic documents where possible. All office paper, stationery and business cards are made from recycled material. We source our energy from an eco-friendly provider for one of our offices and aim to do the same for our other office. We pay a carbon-offset where possible for the delivery of supplies.
