Working for a better future. We’ve adapted to a different way of working during the pandemic – but we’ve also made it work better for the environment!
Like many businesses, we’ve adopted a hybrid way of working post-lockdown, with some days in the office and some working from home. And we’ve adapted our office accordingly, making it much less formal, with a more chilled-out atmosphere, comfy sofas for relaxed meetings and catch-ups and a bank of hot desks to suit our newworking patterns. But in refreshing our working environment, we’ve also taken a more environmental approach and made changes to reduce our carbon footprint. Now you’ll find new energy-efficient lighting with zone lighting so we’re not wasting energy in areas we’re not using; we’ve introduced a new cloud-based admin system that means we can all work from anywhere; and we’re building our own intranet site so we can go fully paperless in the very near-future.
The overall result is less travelling for the whole Northstar team, with those living locally walking or cycling when they’re in the office, and a significant
reduction in the energy we use. So even though ours is only a small office, we’re doing our bit and making a difference!
