Conserving energy is something we can all participate in by reducing the opportunities for wasting this valuable resource. ArchLink has committed to installing energy efficient lighting at our office. It is also our priority to only use suppliers and organisations that also embrace sustainable business practices.
We look for energy-efficient electronic products and use environmentally friendly settings on office equipment. We choose computer, electronic, and IT acquisition products that are EPEAT registered to ensure the highest levels of efficiency.

We are learning more and more about the impact of chemicals on our environment. We use only natural and plastic free cleaning products for the office.
Our conservators strive to use green cleaning products and non-chemical products for artefact cleaning and while working with councils who propose pest control and weed management, we promote the use of non-chemical products and the proper use and disposal of chemicals.

We have committed to investing in the training of our employees on the importance of sustaining the environment and we share with them what ArchLink is doing to help conserve resources. We encourage additional ideas from our employees for resource conservation.
