Continuing Our Environmental Commitment in 2024 and Beyond

What is our environmental commitment?

As a manufacturer and producer of carbon emissions, we understand the urgency of the climate crisis and our responsibility towards the environment. We take continuous action, year after year, to reduce our in-house carbon emissions and make environmentally conscious business decisions. This includes a company-wide carbon management plan, fostering environmental awareness across the company, and offsetting our carbon footprint by investing in sustainability projects.

How have we met our environmental targets in the past?

For over a decade, our Environmental Management System (EMS) - part of our Business Management System (BMS) - has been certified to UKAS-accredited ISO 14001 standards. Since 2010, we have maintained the great standard of our EMS with regular surveillance audits and NQA re-certification audits every three years. Our most recent re-certification audit was successfully passed in June 2022 with no Non-Conformances (NCs) or Opportunities for Improvement (OFI).

2024 and beyond: Gemini Data Loggers' commitment to the environment

We strive to continuously evolve, adapt and expand our environmental commitment. Alongside our ongoing environmental strategies, we have joined the UPS Carbon Neutral and Carbon Offset program. In this program, on behalf of Gemini Data Loggers, UPS "mitigated 2.29 metric tons of CO2e during the period October 2023 - December 2023." Read more about our involvement with the program here.

How do Tinytag data loggers fit into our environmental commitment?

Tinytags support a vast number of environmental and climate change research projects established by our customers all over the world. See below our case studies featuring Tinytags for monitoring conditions in building and environmental projects:

• As part of research conducted by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Tinytag Plus 2 temperature data loggers measured surface soil temperatures to enable researchers to identify whether further increases in temperatures could have adverse effects on P. roseus fungus and the soils that it inhabits.
• Researchers at Swansea University utilised 24 Tinytag Plus 2 temperature data loggers to assess the effects of climate change on sea turtle populations; sea turtles experience a phenomenon known as temperature-dependent sex determination.
• Design-focused architectural practice Mark Stephens Architects used a Tinytag Ultra 2 temperature and relative humidity data logger to evaluate the post-occupancy performance of a newly built house designed to Passive House calculations.
• Tinytag Plus 2 temperature and relative humidity data loggers were used by a team of architects to test the efficiency of building design at cooling indoor temperatures in the Children's Eco Village in Mkuranga, Tanzania.
• Six submersible Tinytags were used to monitor the meteorological effects of freshwater macroinvertebrates through time in the River Frome and River Piddle, Dorset.
