Sustainability

Carbon offsetting involves compensating for the carbon dioxide emissions we produce by funding equivalent carbon dioxide savings elsewhere. At Dependon, we’re actively engaging in carbon offsetting by partnering with ‘Ecologi’ to fund tree planting for every customer payment, effectively offsetting the carbon involved in our jobs.

Our key sustainability initiatives include:

Installing energy-efficient lighting in our offices.

Sourcing from local companies to reduce carbon emissions and pollution in our supply chain.

Buying from responsible suppliers to maximise recyclable packaging.

Tracking our fleet of vehicles to enable carbon offset by job.

Offering affordable sustainability solutions for homes, including installing smart technology like Nest or Hive.

Promoting water-efficient products and renewable energy sources like ground and air source heat pumps.

At Dependon, we’re committed to supporting sustainable living in homes through a variety of initiatives and services. Our approach includes

Smart Technology Installation: We help homeowners become more energy-efficient by installing the latest smart technology, such as Nest or Hive thermostats. These devices allow for better control over heating and cooling, reducing energy consumption and costs.

Renewable Energy Solutions: We advocate for the use of renewable energy sources by training our plumbers in the installation of ground and air source heat pumps. These systems provide cleaner heating options for homes and are supported by government grants, making them more accessible.

Water Efficiency: Recognizing the importance of water conservation, we focus on installing water-efficient products. This includes dual-flushing toilets and low-flow showerheads, which significantly reduce water usage without compromising performance.

Eco-Friendly Materials: For decorating and remodelling projects, we promote the use of eco-friendly materials like Graphenstone paint, which is made from natural, sustainable ingredients and offers a health-conscious alternative to traditional paints.

Through these efforts, Dependon aims to make sustainable living not only achievable but also cost-effective for our customers, contributing to a healthier planet and more comfortable homes.
