The Jigsaw24 journey
When it comes to carbon emissions, recycling and sustainability, there’s no doubt that the IT industry has been part of the problem. While we’re by no means perfect, we’re working every day to help ourselves and our customers function more sustainably. We are regularly reviewing our internal systems to find new ways to reduce our carbon footprint and ensuring we meet international standards.

Our next big step
Our current goal is to implement a sustainable carbon offsetting scheme. As well as taking steps to reduce our footprint, we want to make sure we’re helping the planet to stay green for years to come by working with organisations like the Woodland Trust to help plant sustainable forests. We know it’s not an instant fix, but in conjunction with our wider plan we’re hoping to make a real difference.
