In support of the Hassans Environmental Policy, the firm held a competition which involved staff members putting forward ideas of how we can be more environmentally friendly at the office. Here are some of the ideas our staff came up with:
- Turn off air conditioning or heating when leaving.
- Get a desk plant to improve indoor air quality.
- Use reusable water bottles and coffee cups.
- Walk or cycle to work, use public transport or share a ride.
- Think before you print. Print double sided and 2 pages on one side.
- Re-use envelopes for internal mail.
- Use dishes and cutlery provided instead of disposable ones.
- Use hand dryers instead of paper towels.
- Recycle waste by disposing in the recycling bins.
- Consider whether travelling by plane for work is necessary or whether virtual participation suffices.
- Use unwanted printing, scrap paper or outdated stationary for notes.
- Have a few meat free lunches per week and pack in reusable containers.
- Turn off PCs and printers at the end of the day.
