Printing

We carefully consider our printing needs, questioning whether digital copies could be used instead.

Anything that must be printed is then done so on Carbon Captured paper, with carefully considered volumes in order to reduce waste.

Automotive app

To help reduce our printing even further, we converted our popular automotive help guide to a handy mobile app. This full-colour, printed guide was previously supplied with every automotive kit sold.

Hybrid working

Pico Technology introduced tools to enable staff to work from home where possible during Covid. Following lockdown, Pico continued to offer and support hybrid working in the UK (where job role allows) to help reduce commuting.

Arrange educational talks for staff

Educational talks on the Environment have taken place, and will continue to take place to ensure Pico Technology staff are both aware of our environmental impact and the steps that are being taken to limit our carbon footprint.

Bee-friendly flowers in our garden

At Pico HQ in St Neots, a small team of staff members plant amd water bee-friendly plants in our on-site garden. Not only is the fantastic for the environment but provides a beautiful area in the summer for lunch breaks!

Finding alternatives to air travel

We continue to look at alternatives to air travel where possible. This includes travel for overseas exhibitions and utilising video meeting software to reduce the need for travel to our global network of distributors. While some air travel trips are still required we are working to reduce these where possible.

Trees not hampers

At Christmas time, we choose to plant trees with the Woodland’s Trust, in-lieu of sending out cards or gifts to our distributors and suppliers.

Finding alternatives to our plastic cases

A large portion of our products are supplied in tough, robust, protective plastic cases. We've discussed and investigated various options and will continue to do so until a suitable solution is found.
