RelayOne Sustainability Plan

In Healthcare IT, most see technology at the heart of innovation – mobile, digital health records, wearable devices and more. RelayOne includes social responsibility and sustainability as core to our innovation journey because a sustainable approach to innovation is no longer optional to protect the health of patients and the planet.

Our Initiatives

Efficient Hosting

Efficient Hosting

The majority of computing and storage requirements for our software solutions are cloud-based. Given the current digital world around us, cloud hosting, servers, and data storage centers are quickly becoming top carbon producers, placing tech near the top of the least sustainable industries. For cloud hosting, which is also growing increasingly popular, companies should research their options - many businesses are taking the pledge to make their cloud hosting services better for the environment. Both of these options will reduce energy output and costs, as well as lower the carbon footprint of your business.

Remote Working

Remote Working

At RelayOne, remote work is optional for employees who do not need to be in the office. Remote working can be beneficial to businesses and employees alike. Having a remote workforce reduces travel time and emissions from daily commuting as well as reduces the need for larger office spaces that require energy to maintain. Working from home also can reduce waste and costs associated with building office supplies such as paper, ink, and single-use utensils while also minimizing general waste generation.

Virtual Meetings

Virtual Meetings

We utilize web-based meetings and calls, eliminating travel and commuting emissions. As an employer, going virtual will decrease expenses and emissions as it rids you of the traditional costs and carbon outputs associated with office space. It also benefits employees, as it allows for greater flexibility in regards to their living.

Projects We Support

Run of the River Hydropower

This "Run of the Rivers" project allows energy harvested from flowing water to generate electricity as a renewable energy source. These hydropower plants provide power without causing airborne pollutants and help to displace power generated by harmful fossil fuels.

Refrigerant Reclamation Project

Hudson Technologies is working to reduce the overall environmental impact refrigerants have on our world by reclaiming and reusing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) - the most commonly used refrigerant and a powerful greenhouse gas when released into the atmosphere. Hudson processes used refrigerants to remove oil and water so that they meet specifications for new refrigerant gas, and once restored, they are used in the maintenance of existing and newly manufactured products. By reclaiming, recertifying, and reusing refrigerants - 400,000 lbs to date - this project is reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste, and promoting a more sustainable means of HFC use and management.

Northern China Wind Farm

This project includes 33 wind turbines that, all together, produce approximately 124,300MWh per year. The renewable energy is sold to the North China Power Grid, strengthening their electrical grid resilience and expanding their energy sources for generations to come.

Paradigm Cookstoves Project

Launched in 2008, The Paradigm Project is a social enterprise providing products, services and opportunities that address basic human needs in the poorest markets of Africa. In Kenya, Paradigm created EzyLife - a company that distributes locally-appropriate, energy efficient cooking technologies to address the financial and environmental problems arising from open fire cooking and traditional stoves used in poor communities. The local jobs that have been created as a result of this project provide lasting benefits including reduced consumption of natural resources and positive impacts for women and girls. Paradigm became one of the first verified projects in the world in 2019 when its social outcomes were verified by an independent agency. Verifications have counted nearly 300,000 people positively impacted by the program, 6.2 million hours and over $3 million dollars in firewood costs saved.
