At Intelsius, sustainability is central to our commitment to achieving Net Zero. In partnership with ClimatePartner, we began measuring the carbon footprint of our York, UK headquarters in 2021, with plans to expand this across our global sites. Our environmental commitment is recognised through ISO 14001 certification and EcoVadis Committed accreditation in 2026. We continue to develop sustainable packaging solutions, including our 100% recyclable GreenTherm range, while also supporting global tree planting initiatives through Switch2Zero by donating 5% of all UK online purchases. In addition, we proudly support the ORCA charity through annual donations that help protect whales, dolphins, and marine ecosystems.

Measuring our Carbon Footprint

Net Zero by 2050

In 2021, Intelsius partnered with Climate Partner to measure the carbon footprint of our York, UK headquarters, helping us better understand our environmental impact and identify areas for improvement. This report established an important baseline for our sustainability journey, allowing us to track progress as we continue to reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency. As part of our long-term commitment to Net Zero, we are now working towards rolling out carbon footprint assessments across our global sites, with updated baseline reports planned in the near future to support ongoing transparency and measurable environmental progress.

Green Workspaces

We've taken significant steps to ensure our workspaces are green. In 2017 we installed LED lighting in all Intelsius locations, reducing our carbon emissions by 21 tonnes per annum. In the same year, we installed solar panels, which is contributing towards an annual carbon reduction of 12 tonnes. Heating and air conditioning are restricted to office hours and controlled at a central resource to reduce individual employee wastage.

We'll continue to explore ways we can reduce our carbon footprint, making changes to the way we operate our day-to-day operations without compromising the quality of our products or services.
