  Fighting climate change

  Fighting climate change

  Automation Consultants’ Cloud services facilitate and promote means of remote working, helping our customers to connect with teams across great distances and remove the need to for unnecessary travel. Tangible reductions in carbon emissions can be traced through use of the tools we support, for instance Atlassian Jira Software or monday.com, which allow teams to work together remotely without face-to-face interaction. The cloud hosting of the software systems and solutions that Automation Consultants provides also contribute to an overall reduction in carbon footprint. This can be seen through the more efficient storage of data on Cloud hosting suppliers such as AWS and MS Azure when compared to local hosting solutions and in-house data centres. Within our own organisation, staff still work remotely most of the time. Many of our projects that would have once been on-site are now performed remotely including internal projects. This has resulted in a net-reduction of thousands of miles of weekly travel through commuting and off-site visits. Automation Consultants also has a Carbon Reduction plan which commits AC to net zero by 2035. This extends to our services. A copy of this policy can be shared upon request.
