What we are doing...
We took a room and...
... bit by bit examined what we needed to
do. Pencils supplied are now made from recycled CD cases, meeting
blotters from recycled car tyres and coasters from recycled vending
cups... still stylishly five-star but a lot more appealing knowing
the environment has been respected.
The organisers tool box is made from 100%
recycled card of course, but it now also includes items such as
stapleless staplers, shake and power calculators and recycled
sticky pads etc, all tested to fully function in the way you
want.
Time for a coffee
break...
We already utilise our fabulous local food suppliers in the most
proactive way, working with them to ensure our produce is fresh, of
the highest quality and has not travelled far! Further afield (as
necessary) we have sourced Fair Trade coffees and / or ethical teas
- a seemingly small gesture that could snowball into a huge
impact.
And not forgetting water in a meeting room... we chose to
continue with Hildon Water because as a result of our 'green'
commitment, they themselves have decided to become a CarbonNeutral
company, working with our partners at the CarbonNeutral Company,
plus they fell into our local supplier projects being a neighbour
of Lainston House. In addition, they have also created an
Environmental Project to fund numerous green initiatives
specifically related to water projects within the UK.
