Piql helps establish a robust infrastructure for secure, long-term data storage for the benefit of all nations, organisations, companies and individuals. Piql continues to contribute to innovation in our fields of digital preservation and long-term information storage and is currently involved in a number of significant research and development projects along with two commercialisation projects that actively seek to innovate towards a sustainable future. We believe that technological advances in the field of data longevity, data storage and digital preservation can have huge implications for the way the world currently manages information. Innovation in these areas can improve energy efficiency, e-waste, data loss and access to authentic information. Piql’s global business model enables us to share our innovation with local organisations around the world, train and equip them for success and support their sales processes, for an inclusive approach to business.

Piql has a continued focus on ensuring we minimise our use and impact. We have taken measures, such as lifecycle analysis, to understand our current footprint to find opportunities to improve. Data storage mediums in general create a significant amount of waste, as they are decommissioned every few years as data is migrated to a newer device. Over a long storage period, necessary for some types of information, this can result in significant amounts of special and harmful waste. Piql offers an alternative technology that has been designed to last for centuries if necessary –without the need to migrate information, resulting in very little waste. Piql also uses modern chemicals to process piqlFilm that has reduced harmful waste, and is working to increase the data capacity of piqlFilm to reduce existing impact even further. Piql also works closely with carefully selected suppliers to ensure we are developing and delivering responsible technology.

Data centres are major consumers of electricity with and transport and storage of digital data accounting for approximately 2% of the world's total electricity consumption. piqlFilm is a permanent storage medium that does not consume energy in the same way as a storage medium that requires power (hard drives, magnetic tapes, etc) to keep the data alive. With a 500+ year perspective, this means significant energy savings. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) conducted by Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok compared the storage of 1 TB of data on piqlFilm against 1 TB of data on hard disk for 500 years. The study found that the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of Hard Drives is 38 times higher than piqlFilm. In practice, this means that Piql's migration-free storage is ""greener"" than hard drive storage after only 1.5 years. Piql has a continued focus on enhancing its technology and is working to increase the data capacity (to allow for more data to be stored in each frame) and the longevity of the film.

Data on piqlFilm cannot be altered or overwritten, therefore ensuring that data cannot be manipulated, altered or deleted, as it can be for electronic data storage (hard disk) and magnetic tape. This helps to ensure the legal protection of organisations and individuals and to prevent corruption and crime (such as fraud). Piql also values diversity in its people and has zero tolerance for any form of corruption. Piql only partners with like-minded organisations that share our same ethical views and values. Piql views diversity as an asset and people are welcome regardless of gender, nationality, age, religion or physical ability – or any other aspect of diversity. Piql employees and Partners must conduct business activities with co-workers, clients, stakeholders and business partners with respect for all people without regard to differences or similarities. Piql promotes and hires people solely on the basis of their abilities and skills. Piql employees and Partners should not engage in or support discrimination when hiring, compensating, training, promoting, terminating or retiring based on gender, age, ethnic and national origin, caste, religion, disability, sexual orientation, political affiliation or union membership (Piql Code of Conduct).
