2i and the environment

For a company that is almost entirely represented by the colour blue, we are becoming exceptionally green!

Being long time trackers of our carbon emissions, we are achieving carbon reduction goals year-on-year, even after the return to Hybrid working.

Continually pushing the boundaries and making great strides in our goal to becoming a net-neutral company, 2i is committed to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 - at an absolute maximum.

We have some excellent initiatives and policies in place to progress us along our Net-Zero journey;

Electric Car Scheme - employees past the probation period can utilise this scheme to get huge discounts on electric vehicles through a salary sacrifice scheme in partnership with Octopus Energy 🐙
Cycle to work scheme - similar to the Electric Car scheme, where employees can see huge discounts on bikes through participating sellers using salary sacrifice 🚲
2i office locations are powered by 100% green energy 🍃
Paper conservation, waste Reduction, and recycling efforts are maintained at a high standard throughout all day-to-day activities at 2i offices.

Carbon reduction plan

2i Connect

Once a year, we gather the whole of #Team2i together to celebrate our successes and share updates. With our company ever-growing, we are committed to mitigating the environmental impact of these meetings.

Some of our carbon reduction strategies in place for this event:

All employees are encouraged to use public transport to attend the event.
At the end of the event, we will measure the carbon emissions and offset them by planting trees.
The event will take place in the most accessible place to reduce the amount of travel required.
Choosing a location with excellent sustainability credentials - this would include not using disposable cups and plates, etc, and maximising the use of natural light.
Looking at local food sources for lunches and dinners - or more meat-free and vegan options to reduce food miles and meat consumption, or looking for suppliers who use food that would otherwise go to waste.
Using apps and digital methods to reduce paper usage.
Using our Cycle to Work scheme, we encourage any employees to cycle to the venue if possible.
