Introduction

Environmental Sustainability has been a cornerstone of Cerulean Information Technology Pvt Ltd.’s(hereinafter referred to as Cerulean Infotech) founding principles. We have endeavoured to ensure that Environmental Sustainability is ingrained in every aspect of our operations with the objective to minimize our carbon footprint as a global corporate citizen. This policy based on the following 4 broad guiding principles outlines our approach to the same.

Waste Management

Reduce:Cerulean Infotechaims to prioritize waste reduction by encouraging our employees to be mindful of consumption and minimize waste generation wherever possible. This includes promoting the use of digital documents and communication, as well as adopting practices to avoid unnecessary printing. Before issuing any print requests, employees are encouraged to consider if the printout is necessary and could be avoided. Before disposal of any item, admin is encourage to ascertain if the same can be sold to a recycling or scrap vendor or donated to a useful cause.

Reuse:Cerulean Infotech strives to reuse materials and equipment whenever feasible to extend their lifespan and reduce the demand for new resources. This may include repurposing electronic devices, furniture, and other office equipment for other purposes or for a less intensive usage

Recycle:Cerulean Infotech is committed to recycling as a primary waste management strategy. Bins are placed throughout the office to encourage proper waste separation and disposal. We try to work with local recycling facilities to ensure that recyclable materials are sent for processing in an environmentally responsible manner. All paper generated and received are considered for re-use. Any printing for internal usage is only on recycled paper. In case of shortage of availability of one-sided paper, Cerulean Infotech will purchase one-sided paper from recycling vendors rather than use fresh sheets for printing

E-waste Disposal:Cerulean Infotech is committed to recycling as a primary waste management strategy. Bins are placed throughout the office to encourage proper waste separation and disposal. We try to work with local recycling facilities to ensure that recyclable materials are sent for processing in an environmentally responsible manner. All paper generated and received are considered for re-use. Any printing for internal usage is only on recycled paper.

Recycling Initiatives

Paperless Office:We aim to promote a paperless office culture by encouraging employees to digitize documents, use electronic signatures, and store information electronically. Physical paper usage should be limited to cases where it is absolutely essential.

Single-Use Plastics:Cerulean Infotech strives to actively minimize the use of single-use plastics within the office premises. Disposable plastic cups, cutlery, and other single-use items will be replaced with sustainable alternatives or reusable options. Drinking water is purchased in re-usable containers from water suppliers and individuals are encouraged to use reusable bottles for personal consumption.

Recycling Awareness:We aim to conduct regular awareness campaigns and training sessions to educate employees about the importance of recycling and the proper methods of waste separation.

Printing:Any paper that is not required to be submitted to an external agency and is printed for internal records or usage will only be printed on One-sided (pre-used) sheets.

Low Carbon Footprint

Energy Efficiency:Cerulean Infotech will implement energy-efficient practices to reduce our carbon emissions. This includes using energy-saving LED lighting wherever possible, ensuring proper insulation, and optimizing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The stated intention for Cerulean Infotech is to achieve a zero carbon footprint.

emote Work and Telecommuting:We will encourage remote work and telecommuting when feasible to reduce commuting-related emissions. This initiative while promoting work-life balance and enhance employee satisfaction, reduces emissions as a result of lesser travel by employees and reduces consumption of HV power at office.

Green Transportation:Where possible, we will encourage employees to use public transportation, bicycles, or carpooling for their daily commute and actively encourage shifting from fossil fuel based vehicles to e-vehicles.

Renewable Energy:Cerulean Infotech will explore the feasibility of utilizing renewable energy sources, such as solar panels or wind power, to meet a portion of our energy needs.

Continuous Improvement

Monitoring and Reporting:It is our goal to accumulate data and establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to monitor our waste generation, recycling rates, and carbon footprint regularly. Once in place, progress reports will be shared with employees to promote transparency and accountability.

Employee Engagement:We will foster a culture of environmental responsibility by actively involving employees in sustainability initiatives, encouraging their ideas, and recognizing their contributions to our sustainability efforts.

Supplier and Partner Collaboration:Cerulean Infotech will preferentially engage with suppliers and partners who share our commitment to environmental sustainability and seek to work with eco-friendly vendors wherever possible.

This policy will be reviewed as needed to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness with contemporary standards and norms. We will also comply with all relevant environmental regulations and strive to exceed these requirements to achieve our sustainability goals.

By adopting this Environmental Sustainability Policy, we reaffirm our dedication to protecting the environment and contributing to a more sustainable future for our company, employees, and the communities we serve.
