Throughout our offices, motion sensor lights with energy efficient light bulbs are utilised. This minimises energy wastage during working hours and facilitates reduced electricity consumption when our offices are unoccupied.
All employees across the firm contribute to the implementation and upkeep of FinTrU’s Environmental Commitment and Recycling best practices.
Employees are trained to understand and manage their environmental impact.
OUR
