allpay and the Environment
allpay.net is committed to promoting good environmental practice and recycles whatever it can, from aluminium cans through to paper, boxes and even its plastic swipecards.
allpay's activities take its representatives across the length and breadth of the country and it has replaced a number of company cars with the more environmentally friendly Toyota Prius.
allpay currently has six Prius cars with the view of running an entirely "green" fleet in the very near future.
It is continually looking for ways to improve energy efficiency in its Hereford offices.
With assistance from organisations such as The Carbon Trust it also has plans for allpay to create an on-site conservation and nature area.
"As our company is growing extensively we want to give something back to the community in which we operate. It is important to us that we get our name known locally to inform the public that this is a Hereford based business..."
