Sustainable Minds

Our aim is always to reach out to new and existing customers and markets with credible greener products and a credible greener sales and support method.

Reducing our environmental footprint and contributing to our communities

 As a small company supplying and supporting products globally to large corporations and government agencies the principles of sustainability and the importance of being a responsible business citizen are at the core of our values and reflected in our long-standing business practices.

 We have a simple Sustainability Programme which is “think green” – and promote green-IT. Our work practices ALWAYS focus on reducing any negative impact on the environment, making a difference in the communities where we and our employees work and live, and engaging effectively with our people – employees and family, clients, partners and suppliers. This approach ensures our long-term success through improved efficiency and reputation and helps us achieve better results and retain long-term our people and customers.

 We conduct our relationships with our suppliers and our customers on a fair and ethical basis, and maintain the highest possible standard of integrity and support in all our business relationships.  We treat customers, contractors and suppliers with the same standards regarding diversity and health & safety as our own employees – and we believe those to meet the highest standards required by EU directives.

The directors of Fitz Technologies bought endangered woodlands in Crosshaven in 1995 and within 5 years had them "protected" as woodland areas on national development plans. A huge return of flora and fauna! Bio-diversity projects have included the development of the Templebreedy Gardens in Crosshaven, beehives, and planting annually of trees and hedgerows. In 2021, during Covid, some 3000 tree saplings of beech, black-thorn & white-thorn were planted locally on lands owned by the directors.
