Environmental Policy
NetSecGroup is a digital services business. Our direct environmental footprint is modest by the nature of our work, but we take our responsibilities seriously and target continuous reduction across the areas where we do have impact.
Scope
This policy applies to all activities conducted by or on behalf of NetSecGroup, including services delivered to clients, our own operations, our supply chain, and the infrastructure we use to deliver digital services.
Commitments
- Comply with all applicable UK environmental legislation and regulatory requirements
- Prevent pollution and minimise waste arising from our activities
- Continuously improve our environmental performance through measurable objectives
- Consider environmental impact in procurement decisions and supplier selection
- Communicate this policy to personnel, subcontractors, and interested parties
Significant impact areas
Following an assessment of our activities, the following areas represent the most significant potential environmental impact:
- Energy consumption by business equipment and digital infrastructure (Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions)
- Business travel, particularly to client sites
- Hardware lifecycle: procurement, use, and end-of-life handling
- Paper consumption and waste from business operations
- Emissions associated with suppliers and cloud service providers
Operational practices
- Remote-first working reduces travel emissions; in-person meetings are scheduled efficiently
- Cloud infrastructure is sourced from providers with published net-zero or carbon-neutrality commitments where available
- Business endpoints are refurbished or recycled through registered WEEE schemes at end of life
- Paper consumption is minimised through digital document management
- Energy-efficient equipment is specified for new purchases
Objectives and targets
NetSecGroup targets the following measurable objectives, reviewed annually:
- Measure and report Scope 1, 2, and applicable Scope 3 emissions from 2026 baseline
- Align with the United Kingdom net zero target of 2050
- Achieve zero hardware sent to landfill from 2026 onwards
- Prefer suppliers with public environmental commitments at equivalent price and quality
Responsibility and review
The Director is accountable for environmental performance and compliance. This policy is reviewed annually or upon material change to business operations. Performance against objectives is reported to clients on request.
