Carbon Neutral
COVE is very aware of the damaging impact carbon dioxide (CO2 or 'greenhouse gasses') are having on our environment, which is why we offer our web hosting customers the ability to neutralise the carbon emissions generated by the service.
From as little as $1.00 per year, COVE will neutralise the carbon emissions geneterated by your web hosting account and associated networking devices, as well as providing a small buffer that ensures you are covering your emissions and more rather than not enough.
On average, six new trees are planted to absorb one tonne of CO2, with up to 50% of the absorption occuring within the first 10 years.
To show your website visitors that you are running a "green" website, we have developed a number of images you can display on your website once you have neutralised your emissions. Feel free to save the image you want to use and upload it to your website.
Environmental awareness
COVE is one of very few businesses in the IT sector who acknowledges that power used to run our office and equipment, as well as the equipment itself, is a contributing factor to the growing amount of greenhouse gas emissions or "black balloons" being released to the environment, which is why we offer our customers the ability to offset all of their carbon emitting services.
Carbon Offsets
Every product and service we offer has been carefully analyzed to give us an indication of how much carbon offset is required to neutralise the effects it has on the environment, plus a small buffer to ensure we're doing more and not less.
Carbon offsets are entirely voluntary at this stage and can be purchased as an add on to any COVE service.
Offsets that are purchased by COVE customers are directly donated to CarbonNeutral.com.au who are committed to neutralising carbon emissions by planting trees that trap CO2 and neutralise it.
Green Office Policy
COVE maintains a strict green office policy which is responsible for policies such as all paper and cardboard products are recycled, either in-house or through the appropriate facilities, and that all printer cartridges and mobile telephones are recycled.
