ICTandclimatechange.com provides real expertise in energy and ICT, in a virtual organisation. We try to ensure that our work on reducing climate change is supported by our behaviour: we use the tools of ICT to produce information, analysis and advice for clients, and to work effectively as colleagues. We meet when clients need to, or when we need to - not to satisfy the demands of a corporate bureaucracy.

Unlike some professional service companies, our travel policy starts with "Is Your Journey Really Necessary?" We use telecommunications, the Internet and computing to reduce the need for travel, but recognise that, sometimes, there's no substitute for a face to face meeting.

Our travel policy is: if you can, walk; if you can't walk, cycle; if you can't cycle, take a bus; if you can't take a bus, take a taxi; if you can't take a bus or taxi, take a train. Try to use teleconferencing or videoconferencing. And if there really, really is no alternative, take a plane as a last resort.
