  Fighting climate change

  At Prosperon Networks we are committed to reducing our impact on the environment. As many of our colleagues work remotely we are able to reduce pollution and emissions from travel in our everyday activities. We have introduced an Electric Car Scheme and a Cycle to Work Scheme employee benefits to encourage employees to make more environmentally sustainable transport choices. We regularly host webinars so that our customers can learn about our latest products, services and industry insights without having to travel by train or flight for an in-person conference – this also makes our updates and industry insights more accessible for all of our customers. For colleagues who work in the office, we engage in car-sharing to minimise our environmental impact. As well as recycling and taking a responsible approach to our use of energy resources, we will also support Environment Day on promote this internally, reinforcing the positive steps we can all take within our organisation to be environmentally responsible. Additionally, we support our employees in taking a day of paid leave to engage in environmentally positive activities; for example litter picking and tree planting in a bid to offset our carbon footprint.

Our office has now reopened in Worthing with a hybrid structure (between onsite and remotely).
