Green Offices
The Green Office Policy at 50 Degrees North outlines best practices to ensure environmental sustainability across all work environments, whether in the office or from home. We are committed to increasing awareness of sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint through practices such as paperless operations, using recycled materials, and supporting local suppliers. Energy conservation is prioritised by using renewable energy where possible, energy-efficient equipment, and turning off electronics when not in use. We aim to reduce waste by avoiding plastic and using sustainable materials, while ensuring safe disposal of e-waste and hazardous waste. Water conservation is promoted through the use of refillable bottles and low-flow faucets, and we favour sustainable food and drink options, including organic and Fairtrade-certified products. For travel, we encourage the use of online meetings and public transport, while offsetting all emissions from business travel. These initiatives help us minimise our environmental impact and promote sustainable practices within our offices and among our employees.
