Look for the FSC logo. The Forest Stewardship Council provides a guarantee that the products bearing the logo come from responsible sources.

Check the supply chain to ensure your suppliers are sustainable.

Take a look at your supply chain to see if the partners you work with have the right environmental creditations such as ISO 14001. Which sets out their committment and responsibilty for their impact on the environment.

Flexible working has become a big part of any employment these days following the pandemic of Covid-19. By working from home or a mixture of some days each week in an office environment helps aviod busy roads and congestion, and therefore by having less cars on the road this can help with polution and air quality.

if your business send items out by courier or post, think about the packaging materials you purchase. Are they already recycled, does the packaging get reused or recycled? More importantly does your current supplier make suggestions and recommend greener alternatives?

Do away with plastic bags, consider bags for life for your branding items or paper bags that are made from recycled material and can be recycled again. This is also a great opportunity to get your brand noticed, for all the right reasons. Why not take a look at Boxx-Direct Branding.

Recycle your batteries and printer consumables. You can do this via our Toner Recycling & Battery Recycling pages.

Going electric on your fleet is a great way to reduce emissions - Install electric charging points and install bike racks for your employees or perhaps consider car pool parking spaces.

Lastly all places of work need regular cleaning and you need all of the office items to keep your business running smoothly. Most often alot of these items have an impact on the environment, however more and more eco-friendly office supplies and janitorial products come to market in each year that passes. Why not request a call back from one of the team to see how we can help your business reduce your environmental impact.
