Environmental Policy
How TDS Ultra manages and reduces the environmental impact of our own operations, and helps customers do the same through better fleet data.

1. Who we are
TDS Ultra is a technology company of 30 people, based in Sussex, that helps its clients to improve the way that fleets of vehicles and employees move around when doing business.
2. What we do day to day
We build innovative tools to help our customers move their fleets to lower-carbon options quicker, based on the real journeys their people take. Our business is to help our clients make these decisions.
3. Our aims
We recognise that we have a direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2 and 3) impact on the environment as a business, and aim to be carbon positive in our impact on the natural environment.
Carbon positive means that we put more oxygen production back into the system than the CO₂ that we emit.
4. What we measure and manage
We commit to measure and manage the following elements of our business:
- Where possible, TDS uses suppliers like AWS who are currently using 100% renewable energy to host our technology. This means zero or negligible CO₂e from TDS services based on where we currently process and host data.
- Our company cars provided by TDS for employees on business are all electric.
- Business travel is limited and we try to work with clients via videoconference for most of the time.
- We publish a yearly CO₂ emitted number that includes emissions from our office, business travel and Amazon AWS technology (used to run our systems), so that our customers can see our performance.
- We double offset these emissions every year via the South Downs National Park Tree Planting Service, which is close to our Sussex-based offices.
5. In summary
Our biggest impact as a business is to help major companies and their fleets to use less natural resources. We do this in balance with keeping our own house in order.
