To make our own footprint smaller and lighter we have reviewed the activities we undertake to identify key areas that can be improved and changed. This is an ongoing journey of improvement.

Green Procurement

Energy:  From July 2007 we have been purchasing Green Power from our electricity supplier.

Stationery:  Our commitment is to reduce in the first instance, and then what we do purchase has recycled content and/or is recyclable. This includes purchasing pens that can be refilled.

Paper:  We have willing participants who provide us with pre-loved paper which we can use for drafts etc. We avoid paper that contains virgin pulp unless it has FSC certification.

Printer Cartridges:  We refill (reuse) as many time as possible.  It works, and it is cheaper than using cartridges once.

Printing:  We offer our clients one hard copy of reports and a CD ROM.

Travel 

With our office located 4.5 km from the CBD, bicycle and public transport are used 90% of the time.  Air and car travel has been made Carbon Positive through investment in renewable energy and tree planting.

Waste Management

Commingle (paper, plastic and cardboard), food organics and electrical appliance recycling reduce landfill waste to a minimum.
