Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
We aim to offer a 99% up time.
Users would not be offered a refund for an outage, which would be incredibly unlikely; as they are not paying for the service (FOC)
Approach to resilience
We operate a shared security model between our cloud provider (Amazon Web Services) and Evergreen Life. We are increasingly moving to a PaaS and SaaS model, so that the cloud provider takes responsibility for infrastructure SLA's, patching and maintenance. We use availability zones within the cloud to ensure a service can survive a hardware failure. This will offer our users the highest possible level of service availability.

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

Evergreen Life is committed to improving its environmental performance by evaluating the impact of the organisations current environmental footprint. Evergreen Life minimises the production of waste within its offices by recycling paper, plastic, cans, and household batteries through multiple bins. Evergreen Life promotes sustainability and where possible reduces energy consumption.
The Evergreen Life offices are paper-free offices and encourage staff to recycle and reuse where possible. To reduce our energy consumption, our office lights are on timers, and devices are switched off when not in use. Evergreen life encourages staff to reuse plastic bottles by installing cool water taps and is part of the cycle2work scheme. We will continue to support sustainability through increasing recycling and reducing energy consumption by implementing energy-saving methods i.e., water siphons and energy-saving lightbulbs.
Evergreen Life is a certified B Corp. The process requires all organisations to start with the B Impact Assessment. The evaluation tool is an internationally recognised standard that scrutinises a whole host of different areas of the business, including:
• How the company treats its employees, such as financial security and career development
• The impact the business has on its customers and the wider community
• Accountability
• Governance
• Transparency practices
• Environmental management
All B Corps must meet a minimum performance benchmark and maintain this too. We have to make sure we hold ourselves accountable and continually make improvements.
Evergreen Life endeavours to follow best practice in line with the requirements of ISO 14001. Using our B-Corp certification and our other Environmental Responsibilities we are reviewing how we can become Net-Zero by 2050.
