These 7 tips will help you make your business more eco-friendly.

Having a Green Business is very importante for the health of our Planet. Moreover, it also contributes to the sustainability of our business.

GET EVERYONE INVOLVED

First and most important, to be a eco-friendly business, everyone at the company must be involved. Everyone can contribute with ideas to help your business help the environment.

REDUCE, REUSE,

RECYCLE

These are the 3 keywords that inspire the eco-friendly business. Everything you can reduce, like energy, or reuse, like boxes, or recycle like paper, will contribute to make your company greener.

When you aren’t at the office, or just don’t use some equipment, it is a good policy to turn off the equipment. This can reduce the energy used by 25%.

SHUT OFF EQUIPMENT

CHANGE YOUR

LIGHTING

Switch to energy-efficient fluorescent light bulbs instead of using traditional incandescent bulbs. These can use 75% less energy.

Encouraging communication by email or by a collaborative app, and reading on screen, reduces the paper used and saves thousand of trees.

COMMUNICATE BY EMAIL

PRINT DOUBLE-

SIDED

If possible, print all documents on the two sides of the paper. This will reduce the Company’s paper consumption. And for writing up a draft, why not use draft papel?

SENSORS AND

SENSORS

We love sensors. You can install occupancy sensors to detect motion to turn on and off lighting, for instance on restrooms, meeting areas, or break rooms around your office. And you can use motion sensores in restrooms for tap water to avoid accidentally leaving the water on.
