ESP’s favoured ISP - Eclipse Internet - has announced that, following a 12-month assessment of the environmental impact of its business, it is now carbon –neutral. The Exeter-based company is used by many of our clients for internet access. The Carbon Neutral ISP measured a range of factors from electricity consumption to business travel and deliveries, including commuting by employees. The latter is not always included in such analyses, but it can contribute a significant proportion of a company's CO2 output. It was measured at 23 per cent in the case of Eclipse, according to the analysis. The findings prompted Eclipse to invest in number of carbon offsetting programmes, including wind farms in India, a methane capture project in Pennsylvania and a Ugandan forestry project. 'Our new carbon neutral status is a major step toward reducing our impact on the environment, but it is the first of many. We are committed to becoming a fully green ISP, providing a better, more sustainable service for our many thousands of business and residential customers,' said Eclipse
