Technology can create enormous value — but it also consumes energy, infrastructure, hardware, and resources.
At Etiquette, our sustainability journey is focused on understanding our environmental footprint, reducing avoidable emissions and waste, improving resource efficiency, and using technology to help build more sustainable operations.
At Etiquette, sustainability is not a single project or marketing statement.
It is an ongoing process of understanding the impact of our operations, setting priorities, improving efficiency, reducing emissions where practical, making responsible technology decisions, and transparently measuring our progress.
Our goal is to build a business that can grow while continuously improving how efficiently we use:
Progress Should Be Measured — Not Assumed.
Etiquette is a technology company. We think about sustainability through the lens we know best: how we build products, run infrastructure, buy equipment, travel, operate our offices and help customers transform digitally.
We want to understand our impact, reduce what we can, improve continuously, and report honestly on our progress.
Etiquette’s ambition is to work toward net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2030.
Credible net zero is built on a sequence of practical steps, not a date alone:
Establish a greenhouse-gas emissions inventory.
Define a base year to measure against.
Measure direct emissions and purchased energy.
Assess the relevant value-chain emissions.
Establish measurable reduction pathways.
Prioritize real emissions reductions.
Track progress consistently, year on year.
Address residual emissions with credible approaches consistent with applicable standards.
We use recognized frameworks as references when developing our sustainability approach. We are not certified or validated against them.
A carbon footprint may be balanced through a combination of:
Requires deep reductions across relevant greenhouse-gas emissions, with remaining residual emissions addressed according to credible net-zero frameworks.
Reduce First. Neutralize Residual Emissions Later.
Etiquette does not claim to be carbon neutral. We are at the start of our measurement journey, and we would rather say so plainly.
Greenhouse-gas accounting groups emissions into three scopes. Together they form a total inventory. We have not published figures for any of them yet.
Potential examples, to be confirmed after inspection of our operations:
Figures: baseline in development.
Establishing a consistent greenhouse-gas emissions baseline is a foundational step in our sustainability roadmap.
When the baseline exists we will publish the base year, Scope 1, Scope 2, relevant Scope 3 and the methodology behind them. Until then, we publish no numbers.
Understand energy, travel, infrastructure, procurement and relevant emissions.
Prioritize actions that directly reduce resource use and emissions.
Improve cloud, infrastructure, devices and operational efficiency.
Work with employees, suppliers, customers and partners.
Measure performance using consistent metrics.
Communicate progress honestly.
Update targets and actions as better data and technology become available.
Sustainability Is a Continuous Improvement Program.
For a technology business, digital infrastructure efficiency is an important part of environmental responsibility.
We do not currently publish a renewable-electricity share. Where practical, we will explore the options below and report any share only when it can be verified.
Software architecture influences how much compute, storage and network a system consumes. As a technology company, this is where we have the most direct influence.
Leaner logic and fewer wasted cycles.
Indexed, well-shaped queries.
Fewer, smarter calls.
Do the work only when needed.
Reuse results instead of recomputing.
Match capacity to real demand.
Scale up and down with load.
Archive or delete what is no longer needed.
Use models only where they add value.
Choose the smallest model that fits.
Group work to run efficiently.
Question whether a job must run.
The most sustainable compute workload is often the one you do not need to run.
We make no claims about exact carbon savings from these practices. Results depend on the workload and the infrastructure.
AI provides powerful capabilities but can also increase compute demand. AI is not inherently sustainable; it has to be designed and used with that in mind. Learn about our Artificial Intelligence services.
Use the Right Intelligence for the Right Problem.
Sustainable cloud engineering aligns cost, performance and resource efficiency. See our Cloud & Infrastructure services.
Our hardware priorities are principles we are working toward. We have not yet published measured data.
Technology businesses handle a lot of electronics. The lifecycle matters for each of them:
We do not claim any existing recycling partnership on this page.
This is an evolving procurement principle. We do not claim that all our suppliers already meet any specific standard.
Travel is sometimes essential, and we do not promise zero travel. We aim to travel with intent.
Small improvements become meaningful when they become everyday habits.
Digital workflows can reduce unnecessary paper-dependent processes. Digital systems also have their own environmental footprint, through devices, data centres and networks, so the aim is to digitize what is worthwhile and run it efficiently.
Explore all Products.
These are potential operational benefits. We do not claim measured carbon reductions for any product.
Can help reduce paper workflows, repeated administrative processes and manual record movement.
Can support digital employee workflows, digital documents and online approvals.
Can help organizations understand space utilization, booking, occupancy and resource use.
Can help reduce manual handoffs, duplicate processing and paper workflows.
Can support better route planning, preventive maintenance, remote service and asset lifecycle visibility.
Can help improve inventory visibility and digital transaction workflows.
Understanding how spaces are actually used can help organizations make more informed decisions about offices, meeting rooms, parking, storage and shared facilities. SpaceOS is built around that kind of visibility.
Measure Utilization. Use Resources Better.
Modern Field Service Management can support preventive maintenance, asset life extension, remote resolution, better parts planning and route optimization. We do not claim quantified emissions benefits without data.
Digital Process Automation can help organizations streamline how work moves. Any environmental benefit depends on the process and has to be measured; we make no direct carbon claims.
Responsible digital transformation weighs more than features.
Build What Matters. Optimize What Runs. Retire What Doesn’t.
These are guiding principles. We do not overstate how far we have implemented them.
Avoid unnecessary resource consumption.
Extend useful life.
Maintain rather than prematurely replace.
Give usable technology another lifecycle.
Use responsible channels when reuse is no longer possible.
This page does not cite any specific afforestation, reforestation or land-restoration project, and we make no claim of current participation.
As our climate program matures, credible nature-based solutions may form part of how we address residual impacts, provided they meet appropriate quality and verification criteria. Tree planting is never a substitute for direct emissions reductions.
Etiquette’s priority should be reducing emissions within its operations and value chain. Any future use of carbon credits should:
This page does not report any carbon-credit or offset purchases.
We use these as references. Etiquette makes no claim of certification, validation or verification against any of them.
A leading reference for organizational greenhouse-gas accounting across Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3. GHG Protocol and ISO announced a collaboration in September 2025 to move toward harmonized corporate accounting standards. The consolidated development plan was published in July 2026, and existing standards stay in effect until revised versions are released.
The Corporate Net-Zero Standard Version 2.0, published in June 2026, offers a contemporary framework for science-based net-zero target setting. The SBTi has said validation under Version 2.0 opens in Q1 2027, with Version 1.3.1 in use until then. Etiquette has not announced an SBTi-validated target.
Climate change management — Carbon neutrality, published in 2026. It sets a hierarchy that prioritizes greenhouse-gas reductions and removal enhancements within the value chain before offsetting remaining emissions. It addresses carbon neutrality, not the definition of corporate net zero, and Etiquette holds no certification to it.
Standards and timelines evolve. Check the linked primary sources for the latest status.
The structure below is ready for real data. No values are shown until a baseline and methodology exist.
As our sustainability measurement program matures, we intend to publish clear updates on our progress, methodology, priorities and challenges.
Transparency includes reporting what worked and what still needs improvement.
Sustainability Reporting Should Show Progress — Not Perfection.
We have not yet published a sustainability report. We will link each report here as soon as it exists.
