Vicinity’s Green Journey
In today’s world, being environmentally conscious isn’t just a choice—it's a responsibility. At Vicinity, we don't just advocate for eco-friendliness; we take this responsibility seriously. As we celebrate World Earth Day 2024, we want to share the meaningful steps we’re taking to integrate sustainability into every facet of our business. Our journey reflects a genuine commitment to eco-friendly practices, and we hope it inspires others to do the same.
A company-wide commitment
Remote work for environmental consciousness
Transitioning to remote work wasn’t just about convenience; it was a deliberate step towards reducing our carbon footprint. By limiting office visits and team meet-ups, we’ve slashed unnecessary emissions while boosting productivity.
Conscientious Choices: Nourishing Ourselves, Nurturing the Earth
Sustainability goes beyond the office—it's present in our daily routines, including lunch breaks. At Vicinity, we use reusable bottles and opt for mindful dining choices, eliminating single-use plastics like disposable cutlery and sandwich wrappers. minimising waste one meal at a time.
Recycling revolution: extending the lifespan
At Vicinity, we believe in giving everything a second chance. When assets reach their limit, we ensure they’re repurposed or recycled responsibly. This practice helps us minimise waste and contribute to a circular economy, where materials are reused rather than discarded.
Paperless paradise: choose digital solutions
As technology advocates, we’ve fully embraced a paperless work environment. With our Vicinity CRM, all meeting notes and project details are stored digitally, significantly reducing paper usage. This not only improves workflow efficiency but also contributes to the conservation of trees and the reduction of waste.

Green marketing: going digital for the planet
Forget paper trails; we're blazing digital paths. Digital trails and maps on smartphone apps offer innovative features like 'click or scan to check in,' providing automatic tracking of user visits. This negates the need for paper maps, enhancing the trail experience while significantly cutting down on paper use.
Our own marketing efforts have fully transitioned to digital channels. Whether it’s newsletters or customer communications, we ensure our campaigns leave minimal environmental impact. By focusing on digital marketing, we stay connected with our audience while honouring our commitment to sustainability.
Recently, we revamped our loyalty schemes, bidding farewell to plastic till-wobblers and adopting an eco-conscious alternative. It’s a small change, but even a small change can have a significant impact.
A continuous commitment to continuous improvement
Our commitment to innovation isn’t confined to technology; it extends to every area of our operations. Through feedback-driven refinements and environmentally conscious decisions, each alteration is progress toward a more sustainable future.
At Vicinity, we strive to lead by example, making sustainable choices that benefit both our customers and the planet. Our journey is a work in progress, and we remain committed to continuous improvement. Together, we can make a positive environmental impact.
