As a language service company, we understand the power of communication in addressing global challenges like climate change. Reducing carbon emissions is one of the most impactful steps we can take collectively to secure a sustainable future. Through thoughtful actions and collaboration with our customers and interpreters, we aim to do our part in paving the way for a healthier planet.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is one of the primary greenhouse gases driving global warming. Emissions from industries, transportation, and energy production contribute to rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental degradation. For us, as a service provider reliant on people and technology, reducing our carbon footprint means safeguarding the future while setting an example of responsibility and innovation for our customers and partners.
As a company committed to sustainability, we are working towards reducing emissions in practical ways, ensuring alignment with our operations and the needs of our customers:
- Optimising Interpreter Travel: We are investing in advanced digital tools to minimize travel time and match interpreters closer to their assignments, reducing transportation emissions without compromising service quality.
- Promoting Digital Solutions: We continue to develop digital tools to enable our customers to transition to eco-friendlier options, such as remote interpreting, while still supporting their on-site needs when required.
- Transitioning to Renewable Energy: We are committed to powering our offices and electric vehicles with renewable energy, further lowering our operational carbon footprint.
- Encouraging Sustainable Transportation: By increasing the use of public transport among interpreters and promoting carpooling, we aim to make every journey more sustainable.
- Exploring Offset Initiatives: In addition to reducing emissions, we will explore tree planting and other offsetting programs to address unavoidable emissions.
We recognize that sustainability is a shared responsibility. Whether it’s adopting renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, or encouraging small behavioral changes, every action contributes to a larger impact. Together with our customers, interpreters, and partners, we aim to champion eco-friendly practices within the language services industry and beyond.
