- Maximise natural lighting and switch to LED bulbs.
- Consider a 100% renewable electricity tariff.
Minimise waste
- Prioritise digital files over printing.
- Recycle e-waste, paper, and old hardware through approved services.
- Use reusable office supplies like pens and notebooks.
Eco-friendly office supplies
- Choose sustainable or second-hand furniture.
- Opt for office supplies made from recycled materials.
Reduce carbon footprint
- Source supplies locally to reduce transport emissions.
- Use public transport, bike, or carpool for commuting to meetings or co-working spaces.
Conserve water
