Environmental work, concretely at present 2019:
q-channel AB works continuously to minimise the environmental impact partly through the solutions that the company develops and partly in the processes that permeate everything from ideas to installations and operation of systems that are developed and/or installed by q-channel.
q-channel has an environmental policy that is integral to all our work and attached to this document. We are continuously working to minimize printing on paper and not least printouts of queue tickets from the queuing systems from q-system.
We are looking to minimize transports and we handle meetings via Skype between our office in Stockholm and our external contacts instead of travelling to each other's companies.
Our installers that we use are located around the country in order to reduce travel and transport. Our premises (Vasakronan) are environmentally certified and we use environmental bids in Stockholm.
