We're Committed To Looking After The Planet
Here at Datasharp, we’re determined to do our bit for the planet. Being located in Cornwall, we see first-hand the effect we have on the environment which is why we take great effort to be as enviromentally friendly as possible.
Values we live by
1
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
Not only do we sell products that provide the capabilities to work from home, reducing our customer's carbon footprint, but we also onboard products/solutions we can administer and support remotely to reduce our own carbon footprint.
2
Eco-Conscious partners
When searching for partners we make sure our key values align, one of them being our focus on protecting the planet. We choose partners like Zen. a certified B Corp organisation that are on their way to becoming net zero!

Recycling As Much As Possible
Recycling is incredibly important and we don't just stop at all of our office waste. We also recycle all the old electrical equipment returned to us by our customers so they can be turned into something new.
- A Look at our "Eco Office"
Our office is designed to be as energy efficient as possible so let’s take a look at what that means:
We’ve installed solar panels on the roof of the building to generate electricity for internal use and the grid. These solar panels have been incredibly effective and so far have generated the equivalent of planting over 2,500 trees. For more information: Click Here
We also have LED lighting across the office which uses up to 75% less energy.
- How our team Helps
Our office may be equipped to be as energy efficient as possible but we also focus on how our team can help our core value of sustainability.
We operate on a Hybrid Working model so our team can opt not to travel to work every day not only saving them fuel but reducing their carbon footprint. We also encourage our staff to car share further reducing their footprint.
Video conferencing is a huge part of our customer interaction as it reduces travel and sight visits when possible. We also do remote site surveys to again reduce travel.
Our Future Plans
Replacing Motor Fleet WIth Full Electric Vehicles
Over the next 5 years we plan to replace all of our Datasharp vans with electric vehicles to reduce our CO2 emissions
Electric Charging Points
In order to accommodate any members of our team with an electric vehicle and replacement of our motor fleet, we will install electric charging points.
Cycle To Work Scheme
By the end of 2023 we will offer our team a cycle to work scheme to reduce our carbon footprint, cut commuting costs, and improve health.
Collaborating with conservation charities
Whilst we do work with charities such as Cornwall and Devon wildlife, we plan to expand and support more local conservation charities.
