At DBD International, our Environment and Carbon Reduction Strategy is designed to minimise our environmental impact by improving energy and water efficiency, minimising business travel, cutting waste generation and disposal, and supporting our clients achieve their sustainability goals.
Our goal is to embed sustainability within our business delivery focusing on reducing waste, improving energy and cost efficiency, and supporting communities outside the organisation. This commitment is driven by our belief in doing what is right for now and future generations.
We are dedicated to reducing both our own and our clients’ energy consumption and associated carbon footprint. In alignment with DBD’s Net Zero initiative, we have developed a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP).
For further information, refer to our Carbon Reduction Plan and Environmental Policy.
