Use the internet, not trees. During the pandemic, a lot of businesses have had to adapt to an electronic way of working. At Virteffic, all of our work with clients, billing, payroll and task lists are electronic, reducing the use of paper. Everything is kept in a central virtual location for the appropriate team to access, which makes it easier to keep notes, make updates, share changes and, more importantly, kept secure.

The Virteffic team members are mainly working from home, which has benefited from less office waste and energy usage. On the occasions we work at our office or in different locations for team and client meetings, we walk, cycle or car share to assist with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and fuel usage.

Our team uses reusable water bottles to keep hydrated and reusable coffee cups for those days we are on the go and need a caffeine boost. Paper and disposable cups are covered with a plastic film which means most coffee cups can’t be recycled. Keep this in mind when you next get a takeaway coffee!

Simple acts make a big impact! Together we can create sustainable value.
