Offsetting carbon emissions
NewField IT is an independent software and services company that helps organisations significantly reduce their print and document storage costs, but also recognises the environmental contributions to be gained from paper and print savings. Putting money where their mouth is, NewField’s founders Robert Newry and James Duckenfield have chosen to give ongoing support to Excellent Development’s TreeDuty scheme planting rare, endangered and medicinal trees within protected forests in Kenya.
NewField IT plants 1 tree per employee, per quarter to compensate for the staff's carbon emissions.
Sending charity e-cards
Every Christmas NewField IT also chooses to save paper by sending e-greetings cards to their contacts instead of posting printed Christmas cards. Since e-cards don't cost anything, NewField IT uses this saving to make an additional donation to Excellent Development to help us plant even more trees.
“Many of our clients are concerned about the environmental impact of office based printing which has been on the increase despite the improvements in electronic exchange. So rather than help these organisations just reduce their printing, we decided to show them a way they can put something back into the world by sponsoring Excellent Development. In line with NewField IT’s philosophy of innovation and dedication, Excellent Development also have a unique approach to improving the environment in Africa.”
