Our Environmental Ethos

Caring for the environment, continuous improvement in standards, and compliance with legislation are integral components of our business ethos.

Environmental Ethos - Concurrent Technologies

Minimising Our Environmental Impact 

Reducing the overall amount of energy we consume, optimising the efficiency of our energy usage, and minimising our environmental impact, matter to us. 

We have launched a Cycle-to-Work and an electric car scheme to enable more energy-efficient travel for our UK-based teams.

We have introduced remote working options for teams not required to be on-site and have formalised flexible and hybrid working options for staff that can work remotely. 

Through these initiatives, we intend to minimise the need for daily commuting and reduce our environmental impact. We also recognise this flexibility has a positive effect on staff well-being. 

By the nature of our operations, we generate relatively modest amounts of waste. However, the minimal waste we do produce is responsibly and sustainably managed. 

Our WEEE waste is recycled by a secure UK-based company and we use a refining company to extract and repurpose precious metals from surplus circuit boards and components. The packaging we use to supply all our board-level products is RESY 5264 approved.

Our Environmental Targets

As an organisation, we continually set meaningful and practical targets that steer our environmental strategy: 

  • Measure energy consumption in a more granular way in our Colchester factory.
  • Strive to reduce extraneous environmental testing of selected products to significantly minimise energy use during our testing processes. 
  • Reduce our carbon footprint by bringing a critical manufacturing process in-house, removing the need to ship most of our rugged boards via an external contractor.
  • Identify opportunities to collaborate with local partners in the reduction and recyclability process of our plastic waste.
  • As we move forward we will be identifying opportunities to introduce a more sustainable method to ship our system-level products.
