AroFlo’s Environmental Commitment

Treading lightly in the way we operate

Reducing our carbon footprint

AroFlo is not only a cloud-based job management solution but also a cloud-based business. While we do have a physical office, we do our best to tread lightly in the way we operate. We are mindful of the need to reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the planet.

Sustainability Officer

We have a Sustainability Officer who keeps the conversation going around efficient energy use, all forms of waste reduction, and sustainable living.

CO2 emission reduction

Driving vehicles and taking flights to visit clients has been eliminated. This not only reduces CO2 emissions but also saves time and cuts costs, allowing us to employ more support and development staff.

Remote screen-sharing

All training and sales demonstrations are conducted in the cloud and not at clients’ premises. This is done using remote screen-sharing software. Melbourne-based clients occasionally visit us, and any of our clients are welcome to, but our processes are designed so that face-to-face contact is not strictly necessary for us to provide support.

Focus on non-print activities

Digital marketing helps AroFlo reduce our impact on the environment by focusing all of our efforts on non-print-based activities. We do not attend industry expos or trade shows, nor do we exhibit in trade shows, as they require travel and printing large volumes of promotional materials that eventually end up as landfill.

Solar panels

We have installed insulation, solar panels and low-energy lighting to help reduce our reliance on coal-powered energy.

Recycling waste

We have recycling bins in our office and kitchen areas.

Public transport

Our office is located right next to a train station, so more of our staff can use public transportation rather than having to drive.

Car pooling

We have allocated four on-site parking spots to those who carpool with colleagues.

Casual dress code

Our dress code is casual, meaning nobody has to do any dry cleaning on our behalf.

Recycling old equipment

We offer staff the opportunity to buy superseded hardware. All they need to do is give a donation to a charity of their choosing. This keeps our old equipment out of landfill.

Water for staff

We don’t use disposable cups or bottled water. We have chilled and boiling water on tap, saving the fuel involved in having bottled water delivered.
