Your workday has impacts on nature. Fortunately, there are abundant opportunities to promote sustainability at the workplace and make choices that appreciate the environment.
Green Office work is guided through seven themes. Together, we will assess which measures will have the biggest impact at your workplace and effectively reduce ecological footprint.
With regular communication, you can guide your work community to implement the Green Office practices. For engaging the personnel, there are ready campaign materials available, for example. By using the Green Office logo in communications and marketing, you can ensure that the environmental management system provides your brand with the maximum benefit.
Energy consumption usually accounts for the biggest share of the environmental impacts of an office. Green Office will teach you how to improve your property’s energy efficiency, reduce electricity consumption and take the origin of energy into account.
Green Office encourages selecting responsible products and partners and replace disposable products with non-disposable ones. By making wise procurement decisions, you can make the market more sustainable and reduce over-consumption and waste.
By recycling, you can help to reuse existing material, thereby reducing the over-consumption of natural resources. Green Offices sort all waste and select a sustainable cleaning partner.
Travel often causes a big share of the emissions of an office. Green Office encourages preparing sustainable travel policies for work-related travel and ensuring that remote meeting practices are in order and telecommuting is possible without complications.
Paper usage is an integral part of every office practice. Its production is not only energy intensive but also consumes innumerable trees and generates tons of waste. Green Offices pledge to optimize their paper usage, eventually saving money and simplifying their operations.
