In May 2021 i10 became carbon negative and in 2022 we successfully backdated our carbon offset to the year we were founded (2006) making us one of the most sustainable IT SMEs in the UK. We have planted 19,500 trees and offset 170 tonnes of carbon to date.
In the last 6 months, we have donated over 24,000 meals to Fareshare and made further sustainability and social value commitments that for every piece of future work signed, we will plant another 540 trees and donate 1,200 more meals through Fareshare.
