Staff commute

If employees need to be in the office, we encourage use of publictransportation (buses/trains/vanpools) which is the greenest way to commute.

ECX Global use of sustainable products at the office

Our office management teams look for labelling that says it is made from post or pre-consumer waste. Recycled products such as these maintain a circular economy and reduce overall waste. Our 3rd party office cleaning services are requested not to include toxic chemicals, opting instead for natural ingredients that work just as well. Using these products keeps toxic ingredients out of the streams and their waste out of landfills.

Office energy-efficient upgrades

Review and replace ongoing lightingreplacementto LED lights, automate lights with sensors, use smart thermostats and where possible supply staff with laptops instead of desktop PC’s.

ECX Global doing business with green businesses

Personal hygieneand brushing of teeth, with the water running, wastes 3 gallons of water a dayper person. With a staff globally of 240 this can save wasted water of 265,000 gallons of water per year.
