Sustainability

We're a Certified Green Small Business

In January 2026, Ingenio Technologies achieved Green Small Business certification after an independent audit of our environmental management system, action plan, and carbon footprint.

We measure what we manage. Our 2024 baseline footprint is 92.54 tonnes of CO2e across Scopes 1, 2 and 3, and we have a clear, public action plan to reduce it.

This page is our standing record of that commitment — the policy, the numbers, and the certificate.

Talk to us about sustainable IT

Whether you’re looking to reduce your own IT carbon footprint, move from on-premise servers to more efficient cloud platforms, or extend the life of your existing kit — we can help.

Drop your details in and we’ll call you back within the hour to talk it through.

Independently audited every year

Our action plan is reviewed annually by Green Small Business — not self-assessed.

Quarterly internal progress reviews

Every objective has a named owner and timescale. We review progress every quarter.

Public action plan and footprint

The full policy, action plan and 2024 carbon footprint are published on this page — not buried.

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Real action, not greenwashing

We recognise that the climate and ecological emergency affects our team, our clients and the wider world we work in. Managing our environmental impact carefully — and helping our clients do the same — is part of how we run the business, not a side initiative.

Our environmental policy commits us to four objectives:

  1. Help our clients reduce their environmental impact through sustainable IT sourcing, extended product lifespans and the move from on-site servers to efficient cloud platforms.
  2. Reduce our own carbon footprint across Scopes 1, 2 and 3, focused on the biggest sources: purchased goods and services, and staff travel.
  3. Reduce energy use in our office and in our team’s home offices.
  4. Embed environmental thinking into how we choose suppliers, manage data and select clients.

The full policy and action plan is reviewed quarterly by our team and audited annually by Green Small Business.

OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

Measuring what we manage

Our 2024 baseline carbon footprint, calculated through the Green Small Business platform using Greenhouse Gas Protocol categories:

Total emissions: 92.54 tonnes CO2e across all three scopes for calendar year 2024.
Carbon intensity: 65.37 tonnes CO2e per £m of turnover — our baseline metric for year-on-year comparison.
Scope 1 (direct fuel use): 3.69 tCO2e — emissions from company vehicles and on-site fuel.
Scope 2 (purchased electricity): 1.31 tCO2e — electricity for our office.
Scope 3 (value chain): 87.54 tCO2e — by far the largest share, covering hardware we resell to clients, supplier emissions, cloud platforms and staff travel.

Scope 3 dominates at over 94% of our total — with hardware sold to clients (40.88%) and other purchased goods and services (21.5%) the biggest contributors. That tells us where the action plan needs to focus: longer product lifespans, lower-carbon hardware, and helping clients move from on-premise servers to more efficient cloud platforms.

Our action plan

We embed sustainability into how we recommend, source and support IT for our clients: • Sustainable product sourcing to minimise carbon and maximise energy efficiency • Extended warranties as standard to maximise hardware lifespans • Encouraging the move from on-site servers to efficient cloud platforms • Encouraging efficient data retention to avoid unnecessary cloud storage emissions • Active conversations with clients about IT sustainability and how it affects their own footprint
We measure and report our footprint annually and focus action on the biggest sources of emissions we control — purchased goods and services, and staff travel: • Annual carbon footprint reporting across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 • Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy applied across the business • Use of Transport policy applied to staff travel decisions • Facilitating access to low-carbon personal vehicles for our team
Our office is small but we treat energy seriously — and most of our team work from home: • Lights and IT equipment switched off when not in use in the office • Practical guidance to help staff save energy in their home offices Of our 92.54 tCO₂e total in 2024, electricity and heating fuels combined account for under 3% — but we still keep them under review.
Sustainability shows up in the partners we choose to work with and the clients we choose to take on: • Working with suppliers who share our sustainability commitment, with regular audits • Data Retention Policy to avoid unnecessary cloud storage and the emissions that come with it • Client Selection Policy — we don’t take on work in sectors with significant negative environmental or social impacts Our progress against this plan is reviewed quarterly and audited annually by Green Small Business.
