North joins Techies Go Green Movement Reinforcing its Commitment to Sustainability

North has joined Techies Go Green, a movement of IT and tech-oriented companies who are committed to decarbonising their businesses.

It joins the community of organisations who are aiming to become carbon-neutral by 2030. Techies Go Green enables each member to purposefully improve their energy efficiency by collaborating and sharing practical know-how. Started by IT distributor DataSolutions, more than 200 companies have signed up to the initiative to date.

In 2022, North offset all of its emissions through the Gold Standard carbon offsetting scheme, to become carbon neutral, and has pledged to continue the focus on reducing emissions. We intend to go beyond this to achieve net zero, including Scope 3 emissions, alongside Scope 1 and 2 in our reduction target, identifying indirect emissions, such as staff mileage and goods and services purchased by the company.

North’s recent Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance Impact Report demonstrates our commitment to planning towards a more sustainable future. The report captures our environmental sustainability performance and sets out the objectives and actions we will take to reduce, measure and monitor our impact through energy and sustainability-related efficiencies.

Sam Tovey, Sustainability & Social Value Specialist, North, said:

“We are delighted to join the Techies Go Green community, sharing our best practice and guidance with other technology companies that are committed to reducing carbon emissions, on the journey to Net Zero”

Michael O’Hara, Techies Go Green co-founder said:

“We are delighted that North has joined Techies Go Green – an important initiative which aims to benefit companies, people and the planet.

“It is vital that every business takes responsibility, sets targets and reduces their environmental impact on the earth. Techies Go Green is designed to support this, share ideas and make a sustainable difference.”
