Sustainability
Intuitive. Intelligent. Integrated.
Environmental management and governance
We are proud to be ISO 14001 certified, the international standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS). This certification reflects our commitment to reducing environmental impact and continuously improving the sustainability of our operations and service delivery.
As an ISO 14001-certified organisation, we operate within a structured EMS framework that ensures full compliance with environmental legislation, rigorous risk assessment, and measurable environmental objectives. Sustainability is integrated into every stage of our project lifecycle, from initial design through to installation, commissioning, and long-term support.
Sustainable design and procurement
We specify energy-efficient, audio-visual equipment that prioritises long-term performance, upgradeability, and low energy consumption. We work with environmentally responsible suppliers and manufacturers, and where possible, source equipment and materials locally to minimise transport-related emissions.
Resource efficiency and carbon reduction
Our VC Intellicore support platform enables remote system monitoring, diagnostics, firmware updates, and full lifecycle management, ensuring long-term system efficiency. Over 88% of support tickets are resolved with a one-touch fix, eliminating unnecessary engineer callouts. This not only reduces system downtime but also cuts travel-related carbon emissions by up to 70% compared to traditional support models.
Proactive monitoring and timely updates extend the lifespan of installed systems, reducing the need for premature replacements and lowering e-waste.
In addition, we integrate smart control technologies such as occupancy sensing and automated shutdowns. These measures can deliver an energy saving of 15–25% across audiovisual and IT systems, contributing directly to sustainability targets and lowering operating costs.
Our platform provides analytics on equipment usage and performance, enabling clients to consolidate underutilised assets, optimise room use, and further reduce both operational costs and carbon impact.
Proactive support and maintenance
Regular maintenance
Automated firmware and security patch updates keep technology running at peak efficiency. This extends equipment lifespans, reduces failures, and minimises the need for replacements.
Remote monitoring and control
Our advanced monitoring systems identify and resolve issues before they become critical. Automated self-healing processes significantly reduce the need for on-site engineer visits, cutting travel-related emissions and equipment downtime.
Smart equipment utilisation
Continuous monitoring provides clear data on equipment usage and performance. Clients can make informed decisions around upgrades, replacements, or consolidation, ensuring resources are used efficiently.
Energy efficiency
Centralised management enables equipment to be powered down or switched to low-power modes when not in use, lowering both energy consumption and operating costs.
Insightful management reports
Our intelligent support platform VC Intellicore, generates comprehensive digital reports on asset health, downtime, and usage trends. This includes room utilisation data, helping clients identify underused spaces and make smarter facilities management decisions.
Waste management and recycling
VCwDM applies the waste hierarchy (reduce, reuse, recycle) across all operations. Equipment and packaging are responsibly disposed of or recycled through certified e-waste partners. Systems are designed with long-term maintainability in mind, allowing component-level upgrades rather than full replacements, reducing waste and improving sustainability.
Continuous improvement
We actively monitor environmental performance and set improvement targets as part of our ISO 14001 management reviews. Data from completed projects informs our ongoing sustainability efforts, ensuring we remain aligned with both client expectations and evolving regulatory requirements.
By embedding sustainability into every stage of our process from design through to commissioning and support, we help our clients achieve high-performance outcomes while reducing their environmental footprint.
