3 Simple Steps to Build a Greener Workplace

Without doubt, due to population, mass migration to big cities, soaring carbon dioxide emissions and deforestation, our environment is increasing being polluted and can  threaten the public health. Fortunately, companies can overcome this issue by creating environmentally friendly offices, helping their employees improve health.

Here are 3 steps ensuring the successful build of a greener office: 

Step 1: Print less

If printing is unavoidable, use the draft mode on you printer device and utilize both sides of the paper. The same rule apply to your photocopier as well. Consider converting documents to electronic PDF files for paperless document sharing and storage.

Step 2: Recycle

Recycling is an important step if you want to cut down paper consumption and make your office greener. Find out which of the materials you use are recyclable, and put in a significant effort to insure you do it. To ensure that your business is recycling as much as possible, keep designated containers throughout the office alongside trash bins so that you can easily recycle throughout the day. Post lists of recyclable items to raise awareness among employees. Recycling allows materials to have a second use and reduces the waste that gets buried in landfills.

Step 3: Replace manual processes with digital ones.

Manual processes not only lower your employees’ productivity and increase the risk of human error, but they also fill your office with tons of paper. Utilizing document management solutions like capture and scanning software or workflow and BPM products, you can both improve efficiency and transparency for your business processes and easily achieve green office goal.
