Environmental Policy

Our Commitment to the Environment

At Total Group, we go beyond compliance—we lead with purpose. As a leader in penetration testing and cybersecurity services, we believe that creating secure digital futures also means protecting our natural world. Environmental sustainability is not just part of our strategy—it is embedded in our operations, our culture, and our impact.

We are proud to align with the UK’s national and international environmental goals and are on track to reach net zero emissions by 2025. We also encourage and support our clients, suppliers, and partners in their sustainability journeys.

Policy Objectives

We are committed to:

Full compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
Continual improvement of our environmental performance.
Reducing waste, emissions, and our carbon footprint.
Embedding environmental thinking into decision-making.
Promoting sustainability among employees and stakeholders.

At Total Group, sustainability and security go hand in hand. Just as we protect our clients’ digital environments through advanced penetration testing and zero-trust architecture, we apply the same discipline to reducing our environmental footprint. From smart energy infrastructure to intelligent resource management, our systems are designed not just for compliance – but for innovation, resilience, and growth through technology.
