Our approach to sustainability and the environment is a major priority for everyone here at Outernet, which is why we use one of the most energy-efficient LED screen products currently available in the world. In addition to this we only ever operate the screens at a fraction of their brightness capability in order to be as power efficient as possible.
We currently source our energy from ‘Smartest Energy’, a supplier who has a commitment to a more sustainable future. This electricity comes from independent, certified renewable sources across the UK including solar, wind, hydro and biofuel. All Outernet’s service partners are required to use recyclable materials wherever possible. Our single-point waste collection and management policy will ensure 0% waste to landfill and all equipment used to service Outernet will be 0% emissions.
Our commitment
Our President & CEO, Philip O'Ferrall, has personal oversight of our social responsibility activities, working with our in-house team to create thought-provoking visual campaigns that address important social issues. Philip also sets the agenda for Outernet's approach to sustainability and energy efficiency outlined below.
