Environmental

At Opteon, were deeply committed to minimising our impact on the environment, despite the relatively small footprint of our operations.

  • We’ve transitioned to digital record-keeping to reduce paper usage
  • We’re sourcing sustainable products, and we’ve implemented comprehensive recycling programs within our offices.
  • We've embraced sustainable practices across lighting, heating, and cooling systems to lessen our operational impact.
  • We optimise travel routes for our inspection workforce to lower our carbon emissions, and our almost entirely remote workforce sees these emissions lowered even further by eliminating unnecessary commutes.

Our efforts are aligned with global environmental goals, including supporting our clients in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with ambitious 2030 targets.

Our provision of accurate, high-quality data on property energy efficiency is our biggest value-add for our partners and customers – helping to manage and identify sustainability risks and ensure compliance with ESG reporting requirements.
