How Green are We?
Primary
Security and Primary Networks Group takes the environment seriously and has several initiatives towards making our
own company greener and reducing our carbon footprint, which in turn helps make our customers become greener too.
Initiatives
include carbon offsetting as well as reduction in the first place. While we don't claim to have the absolute answer,
we are committed to contributing our part toward the larger picture. It's going to take industry leaders to step up and admit
there are much more environmentally friendly ways of doing things.

Carbon Offsetting
2009
will see our company becoming more focussed in looking at carbon offsetting and make our company truly Carbon Neutral. There are so many ways to do this but we are currently considering eitherthe
recognised tree planting companies or through projects such as the Costa Rican rain forests. We will update our website
as more information becomes available.
Power
efficient Hardware
We
use energy efficient Dell AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon servers which have low voltage processors, SFF hard drives and DDR2
memory, meaning they consume less power than prior server models.
Recycling
This
is an area where everyone can play their part and we are no exception. Although we are a small company, there are so many
ways to help. We operate a recycling initiative in our office, using only paper from sustainable sources and recycling
all aluminium cans, paper, cardboard and plastic through the local council.
We
re-use all packaging materials when possible and we try to source products locally wherever possible to reduce air miles.
In addition we only use environmentally friendly cleaning products.
We believe by sharing information with our clients and suppliers, we can all learn new ideas
and ways to become more green.
