You might also think about whether your company can develop more eco-friendly products or services – business opportunities are emerging as the demand for green alternatives grows.

Key Steps while Working:
Reduce car/air travel:
Commute and go to meetings by public transport, cycling or car pooling. Use e-mail and tele-conferencing to reduce business travel. Work from home once or twice a week. Replace company cars with public transport season-tickets.
Reuse and recycle paper:
Use both sides of a paper and only print if necessary. Recycle paper. Buy recycled paper. Reuse jiffy bags and envelopes.
Use less lighting:
Fit energy-saving bulbs; reduce lighting in low-traffic areas; install skylights; fit reflector strips behind lights to increase their effectiveness, and sensors to turn off lights at night.
Turn it off :
Don’t leave computers, copiers, lights etc. on when you leave the office.
Turn down air-conditioning or heating:
Reduce both by 1 – 2 Degree Celsius.
