PowerSites is Carbon Neutral

PowerSites is hosted using Green Web Hosting and our development, support and administrative facilities are completely carbon neutral.

What have we done?

  • The PowerSites Development, Support and Administration offices utilise 100% PureEnergy, a GreenPower accredited option provided by Energy Australia
  • PowerSites hosting power consumption is now 100% offset with the purchase of carbon credits through Choice Magazine's highly rated offset provider,  Climate Positive so you can be assured your PowerSites uses green web hosting.
  • We've completed a whole of company vehicle replacement program that involved the purchase of more fuel efficient vehicles. It is anticipated our fuel consumption will be reduced by 50% this year and we will offset annual unavoidable vehicle carbon emissions with Climate Positive.
  • We've implemented waste reduction strategies including the minimisation of paper and other waste resulting from our business activities.
  • Recycling and the use of recycled resources where possible is now core to our corporate culture.
  • We've implemented strategies to reduce our energy consumption in our offices that include turning off equipment and lighting not required and only leaving on critical equipment out of business hours. We are measuring the results of this and have seen more than a 25% reduction in our weekly electricity consumption.
  • Where possible we utilise teleconferencing and electronic contact mediums for client contact to minimise the use of printing, vehicles and flights.  All flights will be offset directly with the airline or via Climate Positive where direct offset is not possible. Please keep this in mind when you want to meet with us!
  • We are aggressively implementing a virtualisation program in our Sydney data centre that will produce significant reductions in space and power consumption and at the same time increase the already high level of redundancy that our hosting environment provides.
  • Energy efficiency and the supplier's/manufacturer's credentials and environment efforts are now a key part of the decision process relating to asset and other purchases.

What does this mean to you as a PowerSites client or Partner?

Generally, if you are looking at your own business' environmental impact you don't need to account for anything to do with services we provide to you, we've already done it and at NO additional cost to you! All PowerSites clients can enjoy the fact that their website uses green web hosting and the support services we provided are completely carbon neutral.

We won't be asking you to contribute to our environmental initiatives, if you feel you want to, then implement a program in your own business and we'll all be winners!
