Expanding on our drive to operate sustainably, we have also taken measures to reduce that routine consumption; all the lighting in the building uses LEDs for example, including the conference suites and our brand-new broadcast studio. We also employ presence detectors which automatically turn the lights off when movement isn’t detected in all the main office areas, meeting rooms, stairwells, cafeteria etc. Added to that, all our external servers that host our websites, apps and the V-Ex platform are UK based and guaranteed carbon neutral. 

We are working towards an official ISO energy efficiency audit and are collecting all the data we need to benchmark our energy usage. Like all commercial businesses there are areas for improvement, which include the air conditioning systems we use on very hot days and the gas heating we use on very cold days. We strive to continuously optimise and reduce energy usage across all areas by implementing new technologies and processes.
