Adam Matthew Digital was founded on 1 January 2007 and from the outset we have tried to adopt a responsible approach to the environment. We try to recycle where we can, we use a water filtration process that contributes to Pump Aid, and we have also adopted a carbon offsetting programme with Climate Care. Specifically, we have offset the carbon emissions from:
• Our energy use
• Our business mileage
• Our business travel
Some people may see carbon offsetting as a token gesture – but we see it as an important commitment to the environment. We chose Climate Care as our partner because payments to them fund a portfolio of projects around the world that help to reduce carbon emissions and to promote green energy. These include projects in places such as Honduras, India, Kazakhstan, the Marshall Islands, Mexico, South Africa and Uganda concerning Bio Energy, Wind Energy, Efficient Lighting, Efficient Stoves and Rainforest Restoration.
Climate Care are guided in their choice of projects by an Environmental Steering Committee, which includes eminent environmentalists and NGOs (such as Forum for the Future and the World Wildlife Fund) to ensure that its offsets are delivered and are to the highest standards.
In addition, we are making increased use of conference calls to reduce the amount of travel that we do.
