We are proud to announce that we have installed a solar panel system at our Hove based office, adding to our ever-growing list of green credentials.
The Solar Photovoltaic System, installed by Brighton business Green Energy Advice Team (GEAT) will enable Ticketmedia to use 87% of the energy produced to run our production line, having both a significant impact on our carbon footprint, and improving efficiency, over the next 20 years.
Research by GEAT found that over a one year period, the solar panels installed will generate enough electricity to power ten three bedroom UK homes and after three years, will power seventeen complete trips around the world in an electric car.
We are delighted with the work that Green Energy Advice Team has done. It feels great to be doing our bit to save our planet for future generations and to be reducing our annual energy spend at the same time.
At Ticketmedia, we have been scrutinising our impact on the environment for some time, using only water based inks when printing, and sourcing paper from sustainable forests, in the production of our bus tickets, till rolls and all other printing.
After obtaining the ISO 9001 Quality Management Standard (QMS) in 2010, Ticketmedia was awarded the ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard (EMS) in 2014. The on-going assessment of this award is further incentive to constantly look for ways to improve and reduce the environmental impact of the business.
We have made considerable investment to install these solar panels and multiple arrays of panels are now generating power, which will help reduce our carbon footprint even further. We are continually looking for ways to protect our environment through our working practices.
