"How we are challenging ourselves to be even more sustainable…

Thought leadership
Sustainability has been front of mind at GT Clocks for decades. We build products that last and platforms that can reduce a building’s energy consumption. But clearly, we are not doing enough. Although the effects of human-made climate change have been felt throughout the world for many years, the horrifying devastation seen in Australia seems to have made the world sit up and take stock.
Davos 2020 has already been and gone this year. Listening to the various speakers, while there are many advocates for change, progress needs to be faster. As we await sweeping reform from our governments we, as both business leaders and citizens, must look internally and improve where we can. We are responsible for our behavior and what we represent as organizations.
This is what GT Clocks have been doing:
For all products we carefully consider how power consumption can be minimized during the design, influencing the choice of components and architecture. Fundamental to the system architecture design of any product is the ability to monitor, diagnose and remedy issues remotely. This reduces and offer negates the need for unnecessary engineer site attendance and related carbon emissions. At GT Clocks we have a strong track record of maintaining compatibility with our legacy products so as software moves on there is no necessity to replace existing hardware.
With both staff and customers throughout the world, travel is an inevitable part of doing business. As well as choosing rail travel where possible, we have recently invested in improved online business communication tools further reducing fossil fuel consumption.
This is what GT Clocks are doing next:
We have recently launched an internal project to investigate energy efficiency at every level within our business. We are reviewing all vendors and analyzing the footprint of our entire supply chain. Finally, for now, we are researching an offsetting program connected to our industry and would welcome engagement from local organizations looking for support in this endeavor."

Safetell Commits to Carbon Reduction with Achilles Certification
Newmark Security is taking a leading role in reducing its carbon footprint, with its subsidiary business Safetell committing to the Achilles Carbon Certification Programme.
As the world becomes more interconnected, businesses are increasingly evaluated on their sustainability approach and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Once something of a fringe consideration, they have become a primary focus for companies to remain competitive, attract and retain talent, drive innovation, and build brand loyalty.
Newmark Security knows how important it is to implement and maintain high standards of CSR and always looks at how we can be in constant improvement mode regarding sustainability. That runs throughout the whole business, right from the leadership of Newmark to our subsidiary businesses, Safetell and Grosvenor Technology. ...
Customer relationships
One of the primary benefits of carbon reduction for businesses is improved customer relationships. Customers are more aware than ever of the environmental impact of businesses, and want to work with companies taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint. By reducing carbon emissions, we are signposting our commitment to a cleaner environment and our status as a responsible partner and supplier.
In addition to improving customer relationships, reducing a business’s carbon footprint can also help to attract new businesses. Companies wanting to partner with new vendors often look for those who share their commitment to sustainability. By reducing their carbon footprint, we are not only demonstrating their commitment to the environment, but also our commitment to responsible decisions.
We’re also seeing a commitment to carbon reduction becoming a vital part of the tendering process. Private and public businesses understand how important reducing carbon footprints is, so we increasingly have to demonstrate our commitment to carbon reduction when bidding on new projects.
Saving money and energy
Carbon reduction is an important method for businesses to reduce their energy use and save money ..."

NWT seems to be an absolute exemplar in its commitment to green best practice, and a top choice for investors seeking great investment returns while supporting net zero objectives.
Another example is NWT's 'repair-not-replace' ethos for autodoor servicing, which looks like a winning approach, for both customers and investors.

" ... Our record in repairing and upgrading customer doors rather than replacing them has continued to be an advantage. All of our service engineers have been security cleared to BS7858, the UK standard for vetting of people employed in the security sector, and this coupled with our 'Repair-not-replace' mentality, continues to strike a positive chord with our customers, particularly those with larger national estates. In the last year, we added a further 200 doors and now provide call-out support across over 2,000 doors, representing a substantial national footprint.
This market continues to be a strategic priority for Safetell, with autodoor servicing in the UK estimated at twice the size of Safetell's traditional markets. Our challenge in FY24 will be to gain a critical mass of contract volumes to support a more efficient scaling and deployment of our service team at competitive margins. ..."

Automatic doors are also an intrinsically more sustainable option, for several reasons:-
"WHY AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS ARE GOOD FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES?
One of the means through which us at Safetell help businesses achieve greater better on-site security and accessibility is through the installation of automatic sliding doors. ...
In this guide we’ll explore what automatic sliding doors are, and the benefits they can deliver for commercial properties. ...
A sustainable solution
Another key benefit of automatic sliding doors for commercial premises is their sustainability. Not only do automatic sliding doors open smoothly, but they also close automatically when they’re not required. Frequently, manual doors at commercial premises are left open by staff and visitors, allowing heat to escape the building. In the colder months this can result in a considerable heat loss from the premises.
Automatic sliding doors provide efficient insulation, remaining shut unless they are required. This should be reflected in lower building running costs. If your building has air conditioning installed it can also prevent fluctuations in the building temperature during the summer months.
Glazing options
Automatic sliding doors can be fitted with a range of glazes that deliver a variety of different benefits. Glazes can be installed that can reduce the impact of condensation, as well as frost on the glass. Other glazes are able to almost eliminate the effect of ultraviolet rays. Something as simple as the glazing you choose for your automatic sliding door can make a real difference to the comfort of your commercial premises as well as its running costs.
Open up your space
Sliding doors have the flexibility to create more of a flow between the space inside and outside your building. In the summer months, you may choose to fix your doors open, giving you easier access to any available outside space.
Enhance natural light
The large glass panes that are usually fitted in automatic sliding doors help to maximise the natural light that enters your premises. As well as making your premises more inviting, it can reduce the need for artificial lighting.
Compact operation
Automatic sliding doors don’t require space to swing into when they are opening. This means that overall they take up less space, making them suitable anywhere that space is limited.
If your commercial premises opens out onto a busy street, then sliding door designs are essential. If space is limited in your premises, the compact operation of automatic sliding doors makes them an ideal choice. ... This again enhances the overall attractiveness of your space ...
... We can also offer our automatic door servicing contracts where we implement our 'repair not replace' strategies, in order to save you money! ..."
