Milton Keynes based Tickets.com,
which specialises in providing integrated ticketing solutions designed to enable
entertainment and sports organisations to sell tickets to consumers using their
own brands, has attained gold standard status for the second year running.
Having originally signed up to Green Achiever in May 2009,
Tickets.com, which also has offices in Europe, the US, Asia Pacific and
Africa, initially gained silver status in March 2011 and its first gold in June
last year.
Daniel Burrows, internet services
specialist at Tickets.com, said: “Despite many organisational changes, we have
constantly maintained our level of environmental friendly commitment and will be
implementing new ideas and plans for the future. For example, to better manage
energy consumption, all employees and clients are now encouraged to reduce
business travel by use of WebEx, training facilities are hired in a central
location rather than have everyone travel long distances and the company has
reduced its car pool from six to two.
“In the office, employees use
energy efficient laptops and take them home with the power cable so as not to
create residual energy draw happening while they are switched off. All the
kettles have been replaced with a Burco to reduce the constant re-heating of
water and all the chairs are now repaired and recycled rather than scrapped. We
are currently engaging with our new landlord about us having more control over
energy costs and consumption such as the lighting, ventilation and heating
systems.”
