Carbon footprint & energy efficiency
Our carbon footprint is one of the most critical ESG metrics in WAICA Re. This footprint has become a standard metric when measuring environmental impact. By reducing carbon emissions, WAICA Re can help slow climate change and preserve the environment. Our focus is on the reduction of our carbon footprint through the following initiatives and approaches:
- Digitalisation of our processes will lead to a reduction in printing consumables.
- Deploying cloud infrastructure reduces investment in the onsite data centre and purchased power consumption, thereby decreasing scope 2 emissions.
- Hold online and virtual meetings to reduce scope 3 emissions from business travels. In addition, the company’s cost of recruitment is now only advertising as all interviews are held virtually.
- Optimising renewal energy to reduce our scope 1 and 2 emissions.
… oi To improve energy efficiency, we take appropriate steps, including turning off company lights, replacing lights with energy-saving bulbs, and shutting down and unplugging equipment after business hours. We also encourage our employees to use natural sunlight and well-ventilated open windows and doors instead of air conditioning. These activities reduce energy usage and have equal potential to improve employees’ moods.
