Sustainability
Doing this responsibly.
Where we stand today, subject by subject.
Where we are
The honest position.
Energy
GSS runs no data centre of its own; the platform is hosted. No renewable-energy percentage has been calculated for that hosting.
Paper and post
Opening an account, holding it and reading its statements happen in the app area.
Carbon
No carbon footprint has been measured for GSS, and no offsetting is purchased.
Partnerships
No environmental partnership, reforestation scheme or certification body is engaged.
What we hold ourselves to.
Digital by default
Accounts, statements and onboarding are digital, so paper is not part of the product.
Considered decisions
Environmental impact is one of the things weighed when choosing suppliers and infrastructure.
Ready when you are.
Accounts, statements and onboarding are digital from the start, and opening one happens entirely in the app area.
