Adopstar’s Approach to Supporting
Carbon Neutral Targets
At Adopstar, we are fully committed to reducing our carbon emissions and contributing to global sustainability efforts. Our approach to environmental sustainability is embedded in our operations, and we continuously seek ways to minimise our environmental impact.
Below is an outline of the actions we are taking to achieve our sustainability goals.
Recycling System
We have implemented a comprehensive recycling system across our offices to ensure waste materials are appropriately sorted and recycled. This reduces landfill waste and supports a circular economy by enabling materials to be reused and repurposed.
Electric Fleet
We operate three electric company vehicles, which contribute to reducing carbon emissions from transportation. These vehicles are used for all company-related travel, and we actively encourage their use for deliveries and service provision. This supports the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable transport system.
Solar-Powered Office
Our offices are powered by solar energy, providing us with a sustainable energy source that reduces reliance on the grid and lowers our overall carbon emissions.
By using renewable energy, we minimise our environmental impact while reducing operational costs.
Pursuing B-Corp Certification
We are in the process of applying for B-Corp certification, which holds us accountable to high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This involves a thorough review of our practices to align with global sustainability standards and further strengthen our commitments.
Paperless Office
As part of our commitment to reducing waste and lowering our carbon footprint, we have fully implemented a paperless office. All internal and external communications, records, and documentation are managed digitally, significantly reducing paper usage, energy consumption associated with printing, and waste from paper disposal.
Ongoing Sustainability
Initiatives
Our sustainability efforts include:
- Minimising Travel and Transport Emissions: By utilising our electric fleet, promoting virtual meetings, and encouraging remote work, we aim to reduce travel-related emissions.
- Energy-Efficient Practices: We continue investing in energy-efficient technologies and maximising the benefits of our solar-powered offices.
- Sustainable Procurement: We prioritise products and services that adhere to high environmental standards.
- Regular Monitoring and Reporting: We monitor and track our carbon emissions to ensure continuous progress toward our sustainability goals.
Environmental Friendly
Cleaning Chemicals
We exclusively use Elm Kind cleaning products, which are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. This ensures our cleaning practices do not contribute to water pollution or harm ecosystems.
Carbon Neutral
Delivery Service
Our delivery services are carbon-neutral, ensuring that transported goods do not contribute to our overall carbon footprint. This initiative complements our use of an electric fleet and strengthens our sustainable transport strategy.
Green
Hosting
At Adopstar, we are striving to become more environmentally responsible. Our web hosting is powered by 100% renewable energy, is UK-based, and proudly verified by The Green Web Foundation.
Sustainable
Printing
To ensure our printed materials align with our sustainability objectives, we work with a print supplier dedicated to environmental responsibility. Their commitment includes:
- Carbon Capture Programme: Supporting the Premier Paper Group’s Carbon Capture® scheme, which has funded over 481,980 trees in the UK, capturing an estimated 110,580 tonnes of CO2 over their lifetime.
- Sustainable Inks & Materials: Using vegetable-based inks to reduce harmful emissions and prioritising FSC® and PEFC® certified papers, ensuring responsible sourcing.
- Waste Reduction & Recycling: Actively reducing environmental impact through recycling initiatives and energy-efficient production processes.
By partnering with an environmentally responsible printing supplier, we enhance our sustainability credentials, ensuring our printed materials are produced with minimal environmental impact.
In summary, Adopstar is committed to achieving carbon neutrality and reducing our environmental impact through energy-efficient practices, sustainable transport, waste reduction, and continuous improvement.
By aligning our operations with global sustainability standards, we are confident that our efforts will contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable future.
