Great news about our environmental impact and a peek at our home offices!

DL Consulting, the company behind Veridian digital collection management software and services has just achieved Zero Carbon Business Operations certification for the 2019 Calendar Year.

This certification confirms that we’ve measured and offset 100% of the CO2 emissions from our day to day operations including electricity, waste, freight, and business travel. It also involves a carbon reduction plan that will help reduce our CO2 emissions over the next 12 months.

DL Consulting Managing Director Stefan Boddie says Zero Carbon certification was an important milestone for the company:

“To be a truly sustainable business, we’re aiming for a balance of economic stability, and environmental responsibility. Underpinning this is our commitment to retaining and building on our wonderful base of customers. It feels good to be able to offer them our services, safe in the knowledge that we’re doing no harm to the environment” says Stefan.

Along with the rest of the world, we’ve seen some dramatic changes here in New Zealand over the last few weeks.

Our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern directed that everyone self-isolate for four weeks to stop the spread of COVID-19. That means that aside from essential services supplying necessities like food, medicine and healthcare, everyone else is staying home. Our borders are closed and schools have moved to e-learning. We only have in-person contact with those in our household “bubble”, and where possible people are working from home.

There is a glimmer of hope. With a slowing number of new COVID-19 cases reported each day and an increase in recoveries, we do appear at this early stage to be on track.

Luckily, working remotely is second nature to us here at Veridian. We are well accustomed to working on the opposite side of the world to many of our customers, and in many ways it works very well.
