  Greening your office

  How exciting to see a company embarking on this path!  My role is all about the "greening" of our operations and here are some tips:

  • Talk to your procurement department.  How do they evaluate the stuff that is purchased?

  • See where the company is now so you can benchmark progress.

  • Write it up in an Office Environmental Management Plan, sectioned out into topics such as Waste, Energy (sub categories of heating and lighting), Procurement (which includes paper and stationery purchasing).

  A good publication, very useful:
  Green Officiency - Running a Cost Effective Environmentally Aware Office (good for giving you ideas about what should be looked at)
