Public Policy - Carbon Neutrality

Affirmation

Although there is not yet absolute consensus across the scientific community it is Green Light IT’s belief that, on the balance of probabilities, the earth’s climate is changing as a result of human carbon pollution. We therefore feel that as a member of the community it is our responsibility to reduce our carbon emissions.

As such, Green Light IT commits itself to achieving Carbon Neutrality for ongoing operations before the end of 2009.

Strategy

Green Light IT will achieve this goal by:

  1. Purchasing sufficient green power from certified providers to cover electrical consumption.
  2. Making use of appropriate, economical and fuel-efficient vehicles for company business.
  3. Purchasing carbon offsets for the operation of company vehicles.
  4. Reducing unnecessary use of motor vehicles.
  5. Using carbon offsets where available for any corporate air travel.
  6. Purchasing carbon offsets for any other on-going activities that produce carbon pollution.
