Environmental policy

At geo, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and acting responsibly across our operations and value chain. Our mission is to help households and energy partners use energy more efficiently, and we believe our own practices should reflect the same ambition.

Our Commitments

1. Continuous Environmental Improvement

We identify opportunities to minimise our environmental impact and take action across our business to improve performance year on year.

2. What are environmental impacts?

2.1           ‘Environmental impacts’ refer to those impacts set out in the ISO 14001, the UN Global Compact and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct.

2.2           According to ISO 14001 environmental impacts refer to any change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, resulting from an organisation’s activities, products, or services.

2.3           Examples of environmental impacts include:

2.3.1       Climate change—energy use, transportation, and greenhouse gas emissions from operations significantly contribute to global warming;

2.3.2       Resource depletion—the consumption and exploitation of natural resources, such as water, minerals, oil, gas, and forests, are unsustainable and contribute to environmental degradation and resource scarcity. Examples include the depletion of finite mineral reserves, over-extraction of freshwater for industrial use, and deforestation for agriculture;

2.3.3       Land degradation—soil erosion, desertification, and diminished land productivity are the consequences of activities such as mining, agriculture, and urban expansion. These effects threaten carbon storage, water cycles, and food security;

3. Tackling Our Most Significant Impacts

We focus on the areas where we can make the greatest difference, including:

Using lower‑impact materials and improving product design,

Working closely with suppliers to support lower‑carbon manufacturing and responsible practices, and

Reducing emissions associated with global logistics and transportation.

4. Responsible Operations

We take steps to reduce waste, manage resources carefully, and improve energy efficiency across our office and digital operations.

5. Designing for Longevity

We build durability, repairability, and longer product lifetimes into our technology to reduce environmental impact over the full lifecycle.

6. Enabling Low‑Carbon Outcomes for Users

Our products give households real‑time insight into their energy use, helping them make informed decisions that reduce energy waste and cut carbon. Independent evidence shows these technologies can deliver measurable reductions in consumption.

7. Certification & Global Commitments

We participate in trusted sustainability frameworks, including:

  • EcoVadis, with strong performance across environmental criteria, reflecting our commitment to responsible practice.
  • The United Nations Global Compact, reinforcing our dedication to its environmental principles.

8. Confidential Reporting for Customers

We provide carbon‑related disclosures and reduction updates on a confidential basis to customers and partners who require them, ensuring transparency while protecting commercially sensitive information.
