Supporting businesses sustainably
At Performance Finance, we’re committed to reducing the impact our company has on the environment.
We care about sustainability and are continually working to improve our environmental performance through the introduction and advancement of policies, procedures,
and work practices that allow us to deliver a brilliant service with limited environmental impact.
We’re a fairly small team working on big things in a fairly small office, and as such our environmental footprint isn’t huge.
Does that mean we’re not going to take responsibility for it? Absolutely not!
Earlier this year we made a commitment and were proud to achieve Carbon Neutral certification for our office space, including our commuting and other business travel, and we’re looking to actively reduce our carbon emissions as much as possible going forward.
We’re also cracking-down on our already-good habits when it comes to recycling, looking at ways to reduce our resource consumption at every opportunity.
But that’s really just the beginning, as we’re now looking into ways to deliver lower-carbon, more environmentally-friendly and more ethical finance to our clients as much as possible.
Read on to learn more about the actions we’re taking to improve our impact on the planet.
We are carbon neutral certified.
We’re proud to be certified as a Carbon Neutral Business by Net Zero Eyecare, and fully support their mission to make the optical industry more sustainable.
We’re also working with Practice Building’s Net Zero program to further reduce and offset our impact on the environment.

Digital e-sign documentation
Our documentation is provided to clients safely via email
using Adobe Echosign.
Documents are signed electronically with no
printing requirements.
Video conferencing
Our team utilises video conferencing software which reduces
the amount of travel, resulting in less emissions.
This also helps our clients, suppliers and funders to
reduce their own emissions.
Digital marketing
Marketing campaigns are shared with our database via email and through social media channels.
We use QR (quick-response) codes within advertisements to help reduce to number of business cards and printed material at events.
Where possible, we work in a strict paperless environment.

operational practices.
Efficient devices
We use computers with low power requirements alongside
ultra-efficient LED monitors.
Our offices are also fitted with LED lighting.
Where we can, we only purchase trusted, eco-friendly brands.
Wildlife projects
We recently assisted with installing a minature nature reserve at our head office and have plans to continue to work within the grounds to create additional areas for wildlife and plants.
Recycling
We have a strict recycling policy in our workspace and make sure all recyclable materials are recycled appropriately, including office consumables and electronic devices when they reach their end of life.
