time2pay takes corporate responsibility seriously. Our policy does not just deal with the legal obligations we have as a company, but the wider moral obligations we have to our staff, customers, partners we work with and the environment we operate in.
Corporate Responsibility Charter
Our Corporate Responsibility Charter is our strategy on how we interact with all our stakeholders and the wider environment in a socially responsible way.
We are focused on reducing our Carbon Footprint. Some of the ideas we have implemented are:
Use of LED lighting throughout our buildings
Insulated ceiling tiles to reduce our energy consumption
Using an outsourced datacentre to house our IT systems in Helsinki powered by solar
Running a paperless office where possible
The introduction of electric cars for employee use
Climate Positive Charter
Here at time2pay we are making further steps striving to become more environmentally responsible. We are doing this by teaming up with Ecologi (via our sister company), a company dedicated to reducing the levels of our planet’s carbon pollution.
There has been a lot of emphasis placed upon our current climate crisis of late- and quite rightfully so. Subsequently, it has driven us to making this a priority of ours. We have been a paperless company for nearly a decade now. We have LED lighting in all our offices and insulated ceiling tiles to reduce our energy consumption. But we think it’s time to step up our game. Therefore, we plan to plant a tree for every month of a loan agreement. This way, we can work together in achieving carbon neutrality for our planet.
In addition to this, we are joining Ecologi’s Climate Positive Workforce. This means every member of the time2pay team will become climate positive. This is done by all our carbon emissions being assessed, calculated, and then offset by the planting of the applicable number of trees until we are carbon neutral as a company.
Our five-year goal from the 1st January 2022 to the 31st December 2026 is to:
Overall, we hope that we have proven how serious we take the current climate crisis our world is facing. We hope it inspires you or your business to get involved and help make the environment a better place to live. If you would like more information about the scheme, Ecologi, or any other information you see above, please don’t hesitate to contact us by phoning 01494 611 456 or emailing hello@time2pay.co.uk and we will be in touch.
