Environmental Commitments Policy

Last Updated: 03/03/2025

At SimplySim, we recognise the importance of protecting the environment for current and future generations. We are committed to conducting our business in a way that minimises our environmental impact, conserves natural resources, and supports sustainability efforts across our operations and supply chains.

This policy outlines our environmental commitments and applies to all aspects of our business, including product development, procurement, operations, logistics, and customer support. It also extends to our partnerships and relationships with suppliers, contractors, and other stakeholders.

We comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, including (but not limited to) the following UK and international frameworks:

• UK Environmental Protection Act 1990
• Climate Change Act 2008 (including Net Zero targets)
• WEEE Directive (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive)
• Any other regional or local regulations governing environmental protection

We strive to:

• Reduce Carbon Footprint: Continuously monitor and minimise greenhouse gas emissions by improving energy efficiency, optimising logistics, and exploring low-carbon technologies.
• Conserve Resources: Use materials, water, and energy responsibly, promoting efficient use of resources and reducing waste.
• Minimise Waste: Adopt the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” hierarchy wherever possible, especially in areas related to eSIM technology, packaging, and office operations.
• Promote Sustainable Procurement: Work with suppliers who share our environmental values and encourage them to adhere to sustainable practices.
• Engage Stakeholders: Raise awareness among employees, customers, and partners about environmental challenges and our role in addressing them.

SimplySim is committed to reducing our carbon footprint across all business functions. Key initiatives include:

• Energy Efficiency: Implementing energy-saving measures in our offices, such as LED lighting, automatic shut-off systems, and regular maintenance of heating and cooling equipment.
• Renewable Energy Sources: Where feasible, we aim to source electricity from renewable providers and explore on-site generation options like solar panels.
• Green Travel: Encouraging employees to use public transport, car-sharing, or electric vehicles for commuting and business travel. We also leverage remote collaboration tools to reduce the need for frequent travel.

Although our primary offering is eSIM (a digital service), we also acknowledge that some physical elements (e.g., SIM carriers or accessories) may be required. We strive to:

• Use Recyclable Materials: Source packaging materials that are recyclable, compostable, or made from recycled content.
• Design for Minimal Waste: Continuously improve product and packaging designs to reduce material usage.
• Educate Customers: Provide clear instructions on how to dispose of or recycle product components responsibly.

We prioritise waste reduction by:

• Recycling and Reuse: Implementing recycling programmes in our offices and ensuring that used electronic devices and accessories are disposed of in compliance with the WEEE Directive.
• Waste Audits: Conducting regular audits to identify areas for improvement in waste management.
• Collaboration with Suppliers: Working with suppliers to reduce packaging waste and encouraging them to adopt circular economy principles.

We recognise that our environmental impact extends beyond our own operations. To address this, we:

• Sustainable Procurement Policy: Integrate environmental criteria into our supplier selection process, favouring those who demonstrate strong environmental practices.
• Collaboration: Work closely with suppliers to identify and implement greener technologies, materials, and processes.
• Monitoring and Audits: Where practical, we conduct or request environmental audits of high-impact suppliers to ensure compliance with our standards.

We believe that our employees are key to achieving our environmental goals. We:

• Provide Training: Offer regular training sessions and resources to increase awareness of environmental issues and best practices.
• Encourage Innovation: Welcome employee suggestions on how to improve our environmental performance.
• Foster a Green Culture: Promote a workplace culture that values sustainability, including initiatives like recycling drives, eco-challenges, and recognition for green achievements.

Transparency is essential to building trust with our stakeholders. We commit to:

• Regular Updates: Communicate our environmental performance, goals, and progress to employees, customers, and the public.
• Annual Reporting: Where feasible, publish an annual sustainability report or summary highlighting our key achievements and areas for improvement.
• Open Dialogue: Encourage feedback from stakeholders on our environmental efforts and actively respond to concerns or suggestions.

Our senior leadership team is responsible for overseeing the implementation of this policy. We will:

• Set Targets: Establish measurable environmental targets and review them regularly.
• Policy Review: Review and update this policy annually or as needed to reflect changes in legislation, technology, and best practices.
• Accountability: Assign clear responsibilities for meeting environmental objectives and hold teams accountable for performance.
