Corporate Carbon Controller Top Tips
- Use greener communication technology such as “GoToMeeting”, “ConnectPro” or “WebEx” to hold meetings with people from other offices. This is much more environmentally friendly than travelling by plane or car to meetings.
- Recycle waste products: introduce an office strategy for everybody – place recycling bins in several commonly used areas for milk cartons, cans, printer cartridges and non-confidential waste paper.
- Lower the air-conditioning temperature by 1 degree. This could save you up to 7% in energy costs. Keep heaters clean and unblocked for maximum efficiency
- Setup achievable goals for staff and customers: i.e. recycle a certain weight of materials – or hold “Walk-To-Work” days.
- There is a free online calculator provided by the CarbonNeutral Company that tells you how many tonnes of carbon your corporation produces by travel. You can neutralise this by paying for renewable energy and sustainable forestry projects. Visit www.carbonneutral.com.
- Reduce energy consumption: switch off lights computers and monitors at night. It is a myth that leaving technology on “Standby” saves energy. New equipment should have an energy rating so buy the most efficient you can.
- Support the use of greener suppliers – this will encourage policy changes with suppliers and the message can spread quickly.
- Sign up for renewable energy – this is exempt from the Climate Change Levy and businesses that sign up to a green tariff can avoid paying it. Log on to www.greenelectricity.org for a green tariff quote.
