Tria is in the business of providing quality investment product outcomes for our clients. In conducting our business, we inevitably have a small and unintended impact on the environment. Our environmental impact is principally through the paper and power we use in conducting our business.
To offset this unavoidable impact, Tria has developed an environmental policy to which we adhere:
Firstly, we seek to minimise our paper and power usage:
- Paper - our printers are set to print double-sided where available, we use paper with the highest possible content of recycled material whilst still maintaining quality, we have a “true” paper and cardboard recycling system and we utilise an electronic library so that documents we wish to keep do not have to be printed.
- Power usage is minimised through simple measures – we selected office space that provided sufficient ample natural light to reduce our reliance on power generated light, our computers are set to hibernate when not in use and the last person to leave the office ensures all lights and monitors are switched off.
Secondly, we offset our paper and power use:
- For every 8,000 sheets of paper we use, we donate to Rainforest Rescue who plant trees on our behalf. Through this program we seek to more than replace the trees we use as paper.
- For every tonne of carbon dioxide emitted as a result of our electricity use, we donate $20 to the Carbon Reduction Institute who carry out a variety of activities to offset our emissions.
Thirdly, we offset the carbon emissions we generate when travelling by air by using the carbon offset scheme offered by the relevant airline.
Our team is proud to be doing our bit to minimise and offset any environmental impact we have and to help ensure the environment of today is enjoyed by future generations to come.
